    I have a base item class

    Code (CSharp):
    1. [CreateAssetMenu(...)]
    2. public ItemClass : ScriptableObject
    3. {
    4.     // etc
    5. }
    and a derived one

    Code (CSharp):
    1. [CreateAssetMenu(...)]
    2. public DerivedItemClass : ItemClass
    3. {
    4.     // etc
    5. }
    Unity warns me "CreateAssetMenu attribute on DerivedItem will be ignored as DerivedItem is not derived from ScriptableObject. Surely a bug?

    Which version of Unity are you using? This works fine for me.

    Maybe you have two classes with the same name and aren't inheriting from the correct namespace?

    Ugh, I'm tired and stupid. Those warnings in the console window were stale. Must remember to clear...
