    To display something, a property field first needs to be assigned a property path through the binding-path parameter. Then, either the property field or one of it's parent elements must be bound to an instance of a SerializedObject. When bound, the property field will then create proper VisualElements depending on the property value type.

    Hello, I am having the same issue where I am trying to display a List<GameObject> via the PropertyField using UXML. I was wondering if there was any update to this issue or whether an example could be provided on how to correctly bind and serialize the properties.

    Hey, as uMathieu already mentioned you need to set the BindingPath and you also need to Bind() the PropertyField to a SerializedObject.
    Some binding examples can be found here
