    For example I need to display prefab values in the UI, but using GenerateAuthoringComponent prevents me from doing so and I need to create the authoring script myself, so I was wondering if is there a workaround?

    Can you use IConvertGameObjectToEntity?

    Last time I checked all generated authoring components are internal

    You should be able to view the generated code with the DOTS Compiler Inspector (DOTS -> DOTS Compiler -< Open Inspector). Your authoring component will have the same name as your original component with an "Authoring" suffix. If you copy out the C# from the inspector and copy it into a file (and remove the [GenerateAuthoringComponent] attribute) you can use the generated code as a starting point.

    In Unity 2021.3.6 i don't see any Open Inspector option under DOTS Compiler. How can I inspect the generated code then?
