Using ScriptableObjects data loaded with the Addressable Package

Hi,

I am currently making some tests to load ScriptableObjects using the Addressable Package from Unity.

Loading the ScriptableObject works fine but I can't figure out what happens when I want to use data from that ScriptableObject in my scene.

Here is my typical scenario :

• I have a ScriptableObject only containing one sprite,

• I load that ScriptableObject using Addressables.LoadAsset (that will load the sprite as well, as it's considered a dependency of that ScriptableObject),

• I take the sprite from the LoadAsset result (= the loaded ScriptableObject) and apply it in a UI Image Component of a canvas already existing in the scene,

• I then unload the ScriptableObject but the sprite is still there, displayed in my Image Component.

  ---

Shouldn't the sprite be destroyed as I unload the SO ?

As the sprite is only assigned to a image component and not added to the scene using the Addressable Package's Instantiate method I don't know what happens.

If anyone uses the Addressable Package to load SOs that hold data for other GameObjects, I would love to hear from you ! Thanks guys.
