EditorWindow : ScriptableObject modifications not updated/applied

Questions & Answers

Hello,

I’m working a a custom EditorWindow which goals is to populate datas in a ScriptableObject.

public class GameDBEditorWindow : EditorWindow{

   public GameDB gameDB;
   ...
   ...

}

public class public GameDB : ScriptableObject{
   public string[] toolbarStrings = new string[] {"one","two","three"};
   ...
   ...
}

I do not write the code that create the ScriptableObject instance neither the code that save it when it’s modified - but those functions exist and work as expected.

If I do the following actions :

  • Load the WindowEditor
  • Save the assets using EditorUtility.SetDirty(this) and AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
  • The gameDB is correctly saved in the disk
  • Add an entry in the toolbarString, let’s say “four”
  • Save again
  • The toolbar displays in the editor is not updated
  • Closing the editor and re-open change nothing

Any idea why ? Thanks

You need to have assset created from ScriptableObject to store it’s params.

[UnityEngine.CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "TestSO", menuName = "Test SO", order = 0)]
public class TestSO : UnityEngine.ScriptableObject

Open create menu and create Test SO asset. Then load/attach it and use it as TestSO instance.
