ScriptableObject Manager for Unity

A modular Unity Editor toolkit for inspecting, validating, and performing batch operations on ScriptableObject assets.

This project focuses on safe authoring and maintenance of ScriptableObject-driven data in medium to large Unity projects, without relying on Odin Inspector.

---

Core Goals

• Improve ScriptableObject data authoring workflows
• Reduce human error in large content libraries
• Provide structured, extensible editor tooling
• Remain Editor-only and dependency-free
• Serve as a foundation for future data tooling

---

Key Capabilities

ScriptableObject Inspection

• Centralized view for ScriptableObject assets
• Structured field introspection via serialization
• Consistent editor UI across asset types

Batch Operations

• Perform controlled batch mutations across multiple ScriptableObjects
• Field-level operations by serialized field name
• Validation layer before execution
• Operation-specific UI and rules

Validation & Safety

• Pre-execution validation
• Explicit error reporting
• Clear separation between inspection and mutation
• Designed to minimize accidental data corruption

---

Batch Operation System

Batch operations are implemented as pluggable units:

• IBatchOperation Execution logic

• IBatchOperationUI Operation-specific editor UI

• IBatchOperationValidation Safety and compatibility checks

This allows new operations to be added without modifying the core manager.

Current Operations

• Reset Serialized Field

  • Resets a serialized field to its default value
  • Validates field existence and type compatibility

---

Non-Goals

This project does not aim to be:

• A full Odin Inspector replacement
• A runtime data system
• A visual scripting or database solution
• An automatic migration framework

The focus is editor tooling for ScriptableObject data hygiene.

---

Requirements

• Unity 6000.3 (tested)
• Editor-only usage

---

Installation

Unity Package Manager (Git)

https://github.com/DW256/ScriptableObject-Manager.git

Or add it directly to your manifest.json.

Project Status

Active Development / MVP

• Core architecture is established
• Batch operation framework is functional
• Additional inspection and validation features are planned
• APIs may evolve

---

Roadmap (High-Level)

• Expanded inspection UI
• More batch operations (assign, copy, clear, migrate)
• Rule-based validation presets
• Improved UX for large asset sets
• Documentation for extension points
