Problem with Reset and Custom Inspector
I have a MonoBehaviour which contains an array but I didn't like the way the array elements are shown. So I created a custom inspector which does the job, but now the inspector does not update when I reset the MonoBehaviour(right-click->Reset). Everything works fine except for the Reset. When I reset, the values don't get updated until I hit the play button. I tried to use SetDirty in OnInspectorGUI and also SetDirty in the MonoBehaviours Reset method but nothing seems to work.
Without the custom inspector, the reset works just fine.

I solved the problem. After I modify my MonoBehaviour, I have to call serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties() and serializedObject.Update(). I did it once when trying to solve the problem but I didn't notice a reset because the inspector updates when I leave the modified property. For example I set a value to 1000 and then do the reset, the value won't be updated to the default until I click on another field.

To reset your values in the inspector, you need to add the reset function to your script.
function Reset()
{
// Set your data to a default value/s here.
}
You can read more in the reset documentation.
That's what I'm doing. It works as long as I don't use a custom inspector. The reset method gets executed but the custom inspector does not show the new values until I hit the play button (refreshes the inspector I think). I already tried to add SetDirty(this) at the end of the reset method but it doesn't work. SetDirty and Update in OnInspectorGUI didn't work either.
In short: Reset works with default inspector, reset doesn't work with custom inspector.
$$anonymous$$aybe you can post some of the code you have, so that people here might find what is causing this behavior?
I solved the problem. After I modify my $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour, I have to call serializedObject.Apply$$anonymous$$odifiedProperties() and serializedObject.Update(). I did it once when trying to solve the problem but I didn't notice a reset because the inspector updates when I leave the modified property. For example I set a value to 1000 and then do the reset, the value won't be updated to the default until I click on another field.
