Instantiating a prefab via PrefabUtility.InstantiatePrefab causes prefab to lose all references on it's scripts.
I've been creating a in-editor 3D tilemap tool with autotiling features for the past few days and I've come across quite a big problem. All my tiles are prefabs, and have a script that controls autotiling.
To update a tile, first I create a mask based on it's neighbours and then get the corrosponding 'rule' from a dictionary. The dictionary contains the new tile and some extra info. The problem occurs however when I instantiate the new tile. Here's the code for that
//Get the actual prefab from the assets (otherwise we'll be trying to instantiate the wrong thing)
GameObject basePrefab = PrefabUtility.GetCorrespondingObjectFromOriginalSource(newTile);
GameObject tile = PrefabUtility.InstantiatePrefab(basePrefab) as GameObject;
When instantiated, I noticed that the script attached to the prefab loses all references to objects. Here's a before and after

Why is this happening? WallSide DOES refer to an actual prefab by the way. This is prove by the fact selecting the non-null reference highlights the prefab in the project files. Also the fact the scene is empty and thus it cannot be referring to any kind of scene object.
