Feedback Player Input Manager - Use Reference Workflow

The PlayerInput Manager with "Use reference" defines a "join action" to instantiate a prefab with a PlayerInput component by pressing a generic (device free) InputAction.

I face some problems with this workflow :
1) If "Use reference" is set, the first instantiated prefab (PlayerInput > Actions) use the main InputActionAsset, disabling the generic Start InputAction for the next player.

3) There should be a way to define the parent of the instantiated prefab.

Updated since 0.2.8 : most of it works fine ! I posted simple workarounds.

 

Workarounds updated with preview - 1.0.0.

Everything works nicely, UI Input Module included !
