[BUG] PrefabUtility.InstantiatePrefab is null

Unity Engine
1

Hey guys,

Debug.Log(prefabObjects[objectIndex]);
GameObject sceneObject = PrefabUtility.InstantiatePrefab(prefabObjects[objectIndex]) as GameObject;
Debug.Log(sceneObject);

In Unity4 using PrefabUtility.InstatiatePrefab or just regular Instatiate returns null when using it in a editor script.

The prefab is certainly not null, it successfully spawns it in the scene, but what PrefabUtility returns is null, why?

I’ve seen a few post without any answers, does someone know a work around and when we can except this bug to be fixed. It seems like a rather critical issue, which surprises me as I would have expected more topics on it, or am I doing something wrong?

I figured out the problem.

The object our technical artist was instantiating was a monobehaviour not a gameobject.
