Reference to another Gameobject in script only seems to update when inspector variable is changed, not if altered in scene. Is this to be expected?

Hi,

I assign an instanced Gameobject A in scene to a respective Gameobject variable in script on Gameobject B by dragging from scene hierarchy view to inspector. This works fine except that when I alter the transform of object A, which changes state of one of A's component whose script has [ExecuteInEditMode], the reference to A in B's script doesn't seem to update even when I press play. The reference only seems to update when a variable of A's [ExecuteInEditMode] component is changed through inspector, ie OnValidate() is called. Is this to be expected? Does a component only give its last validated instance to other components? If so how can I make sure it is validated when I change it in scene view without touching the inspector?

Any feedback is appreciated, Thanks
