-Nothing here.
+===== Getting/Setting Managed References =====
+Getting a managed reference out of a SerializedProperty is very challenging((From version 2021.2 on, [[https://docs.unity3d.com/2021.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/SerializedProperty-managedReferenceValue.html|managedReferenceValue]] is not Write Only and can be used to easily get the assigned object.)). It's better to just use C# reflection on the original object and force the asset / object to re-save.
