Question Add custom label to addressables group

Hello,

I'd like to add custom labels to some entries inside of localization assets/strings groups to have more control when downloading bundles from remote.

However, all groups used by Localization package seem to be read-only. How can I add custom labels?

 

Thanks, @karl_jones!

Unchecking the flag makes a group editable, but all entries inside of it remain read-only. I.e. can't rename or change labels.

Restarting Unity didn't help.

 

It seems to work, thank you!

If anyone has thousands of entries like we do, here is an Editor tool I used to remove "ReadOnly" label from all entries in a group.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEditor;
2. using UnityEditor.AddressableAssets.Settings;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class ReadonlyRemover : EditorWindow
6. {
7.     private AddressableAssetGroup _addressableAssetGroup;
8.  
9.     [MenuItem("Window/Readonly Remover")]
10.     public static void ShowWindow()
11.     {
12.         GetWindow<ReadonlyRemover>("Readonly Remover");
13.     }
14.  
15.     private void OnGUI()
16.     {
17.         EditorGUILayout.LabelField("AddressableAssetGroup Readonly Remover", EditorStyles.boldLabel);
18.  
19.         EditorGUILayout.Space();
20.  
21.         _addressableAssetGroup = (AddressableAssetGroup)EditorGUILayout.ObjectField("Addressable Asset Group",
22.             _addressableAssetGroup, typeof(AddressableAssetGroup), false);
23.  
24.         if (GUILayout.Button("Remove Readonly Flag"))
25.         {
26.             if (_addressableAssetGroup != null)
27.             {
28.                 RemoveReadonlyFlag();
29.             }
30.             else
31.             {
32.                 Debug.LogError("AddressableAssetGroup is null. Please assign an AddressableAssetGroup.");
33.             }
34.         }
35.     }
36.  
37.     private void RemoveReadonlyFlag()
38.     {
39.         foreach (var entry in _addressableAssetGroup.entries)
40.             entry.ReadOnly = false;
41.  
42.         EditorUtility.SetDirty(_addressableAssetGroup);
43.         AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
44.         AssetDatabase.Refresh();
45.         Debug.Log("Readonly flags have been removed.");
46.     }
47. }
