Known limitations.
2020-05-26 10:26:53 +02:00
- Custom property drawer has no effect. Becouse property is drawn from custom attribute drawer custom property drawer is not applied (unity default behaviour).
2020-08-13 16:31:20 +02:00
- Can not serialized types derived from UnityEngine.Object (monbehaviour, scriptableObject) (unity's limitation).
2020-08-13 17:13:53 +02:00
- Can not create instance of class that does not have empty constructor(only have private for example).

Known Issues of serialized reference:
2020-05-26 10:26:53 +02:00
- Renaming used type can produce data loss and throws unknown managed type exception. This is unity's bug.
- SerializeReference itself is not working properly with Prefab Instances;

Future plans:
Possibly
- copy / paste.
- menu with searchbar.
