Prefabs with prepopulated arrays/list
I have empty GameObjects that work as checkpoints for a prefab. The prefab has List that I would like to be the same for all of the prefabs. When the prefab is inside the scene I can add gameobjects to the list, but when I drag it to create new prefab the array becomes full of empty entries. Is there any way to get this working without scripting?
If I understood right, you want to make a prefab in the project view to have references to object instances in the open scene. This is not allowed as far as I know.
Since anything in the Project view can be referenced & instantiated in a scene or for example be loaded from the Resources-folder, it would create silly situations when you try to instantiate such a prefab into a different scene and it couldn't find the objects it has references to.
As others say, it doesn't work that way.
Instead, why don't you find all the waypoints at runtime and construct the list in Start() using either https://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Object.FindObjectsOfType.html
or
