    Not sure if this is a known issue, or if it's intended, but as of now, you cannot serialize lists or arrays of generic types.

    The following won't serialize:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. [Serializable]
    2. public class Wrapper<T>
    3. {
    4.     public T wrappedValue;
    5. }
    6.  
    7. public class MyMonoBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
    8. {
    9.     public Wrapper<int>[] wrappers; // this won't serialize
    10.     public Wrapper<int> singleWrapper; // this serializes fine
    11.     public int[] ints; // this serializes fine
    12. }
