Bug (Case 1284822) Unpacking prefab breaks reference remapping from nested child prefab to unpacked scen

As the title states, if a prefab is unpacked and nested prefabs inside it reference it, after reloading the scene the nested prefabs point at the original prefab asset, rather than the unpacked object on the scene. If the nested prefab is made dirty via some other means after unpacking, the problem does not occur.

Reproduced on b6 and several other versions of Unity all the way back to 2019.3.2.

 

Thanks Leonhard, force of habit.

 

Hey Steen,
That was literally the first thing I did, the number is in the thread title!
Cheers

 

We all do it!

I just got a response from QA, this is already on the system as case 1151512. It has been in there for a while.

 

Thanks Steen. I just hope soon-ish doesn't mean another year and a half, as 1151512 has been up for that long and the workaround only works for the most trivial of cases.

 

Fantastic!
