    Hello.
    The new prefab system is so powers. but it is some issue.

    MySo.cs
    Code (CSharp):
    1.  
    2. using UnityEngine;
    3. #if UNITY_EDITOR
    4. using UnityEditor;
    5. #endif
    6.  
    7. public class MySO : ScriptableObject
    8. {
    9.  
    10.     public GameObject prefab;
    11.  
    12.  
    13. #if UNITY_EDITOR
    14.     [MenuItem("Tools/AddSOToPrefab")]
    15.     public static void AddSOToPrefab()
    16.     {
    17.         var prefab = Selection.activeObject as GameObject;
    18.         if(prefab)
    19.         {
    20.             var so = CreateInstance<MySO>();
    21.             so.name = "MySo";
    22.             so.prefab = prefab;
    23.             Debug.Log(prefab, prefab);
    24.             var path = AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(prefab);
    25.             AssetDatabase.AddObjectToAsset(so, path);
    26.             AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
    27.         }
    28.     }
    29.  
    30. #endif
    31. }
    32.  
    1. Create an Prefab and name is MyPrefab
    2. Create MySo and add to MyPrefab
    3. Select MySo and Drag MyPrefab to prefab property.
    4. save it. So far, so good,

    flowing yaml in MyPrefab.prefab

    Code (CSharp):
    1.  
    2. --- !u!114 &114721633881386746
    3. MonoBehaviour:
    4.   m_ObjectHideFlags: 0
    5.   m_CorrespondingSourceObject: {fileID: 0}
    6.   m_PrefabInstance: {fileID: 0}
    7.   m_PrefabAsset: {fileID: 0}
    8.   m_GameObject: {fileID: 0}
    9.   m_Enabled: 1
    10.   m_EditorHideFlags: 0
    11.   m_Script: {fileID: 11500000, guid: 40b994cea1c45b64683d08d6cb75bb44, type: 3}
    12.   m_Name: MySo
    13.   m_EditorClassIdentifier:
    14.   prefab: {fileID: 5928805271164938062}
    15.  
    5. Open MyPrefab and modity the position.
    6. Save it.


    prefab property is None for MySO in Inspector panel

    flowing error log in console.
    Code (CSharp):
    1.  
    2. AssetImporter is referencing an asset from the previous import. This should not happen.
    3. UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallGlobalEventHandler()
    4.  
    flowing yaml in MyPrefab.prefab

    Code (CSharp):
    1.  
    2. --- !u!114 &114721633881386746
    3. MonoBehaviour:
    4.   m_ObjectHideFlags: 0
    5.   m_CorrespondingSourceObject: {fileID: 0}
    6.   m_PrefabInstance: {fileID: 0}
    7.   m_PrefabAsset: {fileID: 0}
    8.   m_GameObject: {fileID: 0}
    9.   m_Enabled: 1
    10.   m_EditorHideFlags: 0
    11.   m_Script: {fileID: 11500000, guid: 40b994cea1c45b64683d08d6cb75bb44, type: 3}
    12.   m_Name: MySo
    13.   m_EditorClassIdentifier:
    14.   prefab: {fileID: 5928805271164938062, guid: cd7bea1403b5b8249b137f72cddbd1ff, type: 3}
    15.  
    7. modify the position and save it again.

    MyPrefab.prefab change following, notice the prefab property.

    Code (CSharp):
    1.  
    2. --- !u!114 &114721633881386746
    3. MonoBehaviour:
    4.   m_ObjectHideFlags: 0
    5.   m_CorrespondingSourceObject: {fileID: 0}
    6.   m_PrefabInstance: {fileID: 0}
    7.   m_PrefabAsset: {fileID: 0}
    8.   m_GameObject: {fileID: 0}
    9.   m_Enabled: 1
    10.   m_EditorHideFlags: 0
    11.   m_Script: {fileID: 11500000, guid: 40b994cea1c45b64683d08d6cb75bb44, type: 3}
    12.   m_Name: MySo
    13.   m_EditorClassIdentifier:
    14.   prefab: {fileID: 0}
    15.  



    yaml file change flow:

    1. drag asset to prefab property, and save.
    Code (CSharp):
    1. prefab: {fileID: 5928805271164938062}
    2. modify the prefab and save.
    log error in console panel.

    Sorry, I find this hard to understand. You're not describing with words what the issue is, or what the expected versus actual result is, and that makes it hard to follow what you're trying to convey with all the snippets and the image. Can you file a bug report with repro project and repro steps please?

    It looks like he's reporting a case where a Unity-internal check message similar to an assert failure. "AssetImporter is referencing an asset from the previous import. This should not happen."

    It seems like adding a ScriptableObject to a prefab through AssetDatabase.AddObjectToAsset, and then assigning that prefab to that SO makes the serializer all kinds of confused.

    If you look at the different yaml files, it's jumping between how the prefab is referenced between each time something unrelated (the position value of the prefab) is changed.

    I'm sorry for my bad English.
    I'm report an issue via unity editor.
    I push a repository to github https://github.com/litefeel/PrefabRefByInsideSO


    What happened?
    Prefab cannot be referenced by internal ScriptObject when the prefab any change and save.

    How we can reproduce it using the example you attached?
    1. Drag MyPrefab to MySo's prefab property
    2. Save it.
    3. Open MyPrefab and modify anything and save it.
    4. MySo's prefab property is Null

    @litefeel - it's not ideal, but the temporary workaround I'm using is to make a variant of the prefab, and set their prefab properties to eachother.

    For example:
    set MySo's prefab property to MySoVariant
    and set MySoVariants's prefab property to MySo

    Thanks.
    I split myso into another file with the same name as prefab.
