    I have made a cool localized singpost and I'd need to get any kind of string from the LocalizedString field in the editor.
    GetLocalizedString() does not work and the LocalizedReferencePropertyDrawer is way to complicated.
    All I need is some kind of string, key-name would be fine.
    LocalizedString.ToString() just yields some numbers - how to get the Key-Name in Editor (not at runtime)?

    Signpost looks like this:

    To rotate the arrows properly, it is required to know which key is referenced.

    Hi,

    Editor support is something that will come in the future.
    You can convert the Id values into names in the Editor like so:

    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. var collection = LocalizationEditorSettings.GetStringTableCollection(myTableReference);
    3. var entry = collection.SharedData.GetEntryFromReference(myTableEntryReference);
    4. Debug.Log($"{collection.TableCollectionName} - {entry.Key}");
    We also plan to provide some Editor ToString overrides to the references to convert to names in the future.
