    I have an editor which overrides CreateInspectorGUI() so that the root inspector is using UIElements, which means that I can use PropertyDrawer types that also use UIElements.

    However, if I have a PropertyDrawer using IMGUI that embeds another PropertyDrawer using UIElements, the UIElements logic is not used.

    Code (CSharp):
    1. Inspector (UIElements)
    2.   PropertyDrawer (IMGUI)
    3.     PropertyDrawer (UIElements) -- doesn't work
    Is there a plan to enable this workflow? If not, it seems like switching to UIElements will be a significantly large amount of work since a bunch of IMGUI drawers will need rewriting.

    Hi,

    As mentioned, IMGUI cannot hold UIElements-based UI. UIElements PropertyDrawers are in the plans, but that would still mean a bit of code refactoring/rewriting on your end (the PropertyDrawer part).
