The properties in the Blackboard do not have an expand/collapse icon. This can’t be a bug? If not how do I set/change the default values of Blackboard properties?

I installed 2020.2 yesterday and I have the exact same problem. This looks like a bug to me but I have not used Shader Graph before. I was going to use it for my next game project.

It’s a little annoying, but on the top right of the graph window you have a node outliner. The options for the exposed properties show up there when you select them, under the ‘Node Settings’ tab.

Confirmed. Property values have moved into Graph Inspector > Node Settings.

It sure requires getting used to. But it also makes certain sense, blackboards become unwieldy when you have a lot of properties and you have to expand and collapse them all the time. Searching for a property when you have 15 of them and all of them are expanded is pretty inconvenient.
Maybe there could be some middle ground. For example properties could have default value field (and maybe something else like Reference) next to their name right in a blackboard, and everything else could be accessed from node settings.

Yeah I’m not sure what the ideal solution is. My main issue is that whenever I create a property, the first thing I tend to do is change the reference, or the values. Now I have to do a UI switch every time and it slows down my workflow. I use shadergraph a lot so I really notice the slowdown.
