Adding images to object in the inspector

I have an object named card in my hierarchy with a script attached to it.
In the inspector I want to drag my images to the area that I created for the faces of the cards. Done this many times, it is something that we do all the time with Unity.
With the object selected, I then go down into the project area to hold shift to select the cards to drag and drop on my faces area and Unity keeps unselecting my Object in the Hierarchy so I cannot drag and drop!

This is just annoying, I don’t know what made it start doing this.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Any ideas how to fix this issue?

It’s not something that happens automatically; you need to click the lock icon in the inspector to prevent Unity from deselecting the object in the hierarchy. That is, when you’re selecting multiple items in the project. With a single item, there’s no need.

wow, I have never had to do t his before, when did this change with Unity?

It’s been like that since day 1.

I honestly have never touched that lock, and I have dragged and dropped hundreds of sprites in Unity until this new version I just installed.

As I mentioned, you don’t need the lock when you’re dragging one at a time.
