PropertyField for a list marked with [HideInInspector]

Questions & Answers
1

I want to hide a list in the inspector and show it only under specific conditions.

[SerializeField, HideInInspector]
private List<int> _myList = null;

In my custom editor, I then try to show the property field.

SerializedProperty serializedProperty = serializedObject.FindProperty("_myList");
EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedProperty, true);

However, even though I set includeChildren to true, it shows the name of the property, but nothing else (size or children).

Is there a way to make this work ?

If you have a custom editor where you are controlling the conditions under which it is displayed, why do you need the HideInInspector attribute on it?
