    When I add the GhostComponent and GhostField attributes to a ISharedComponentData, the field is shown in the Ghost Authoring Component's Update component list, but a Serializer is not generated and it is not added to the GhostComponentSerializerRegistrationSystem, and it is also not synced to clients.

    Here's the component:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. [GhostComponent(PrefabType = GhostPrefabType.All)]
    2. public struct Soldier : ISharedComponentData
    3. {
    4.     [GhostField] public short squadId;
    5. }
    Is this the intended behaviour? Do I need to use another attribute?

    We do not support serializing shared components. Shared components are managed objects, and the serialization code is burst compiled - which means we cannot use managed objects in it. It showing up in the inspector is not intentional, it's a bug. It would also be good to have more clear messages about it not being supported - but I would have to check how feasible that is.

    Thanks, Tim! I didn't know that they can reference unmanaged types – TIL, cheers :)
