Referencing a lot of assets at once

Is there a built in way to populate an array or list on an asset with a bunch of references without having to do it one by one? To be clear, what I've been doing is adding an array param, like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. public MyData[] AllTheData;

Then in the editor, I set the array size to the size I want and then one at a time, I grab each data asset and drag it over. What I'm hoping for is something where I can multiselect items or maybe even drag a folder onto the parameter and it will automatically resize the array and add all the values.

Is this something that Unity can do (with an implied, "without a custom editor")?

 

Yes it can! Steps:

1. select the thing with the array of items public field
1a. optionally clear the array to 0 items
2. lock the inspector window (tiny lock, upper right corner)
3. go browsing for all the things, either one at a time or all at once or in bunches, drag them into the locked inspector
4. unlock your inspector window

Don't forget step 4. It's really baffling if you do!

 

Nice. Thanks!
