    Hi there! What exactly are you wanting to replace and what are you wanting to retain? Could you give an example please?

    OK. If you have a cube with animation go up and down. Now if i want to replace this cube with another object "sphere or Capsule" and keep the animation as it with the new object.

    Thanks for clarifying! It sounds like this isn't actually a beta issue, but you should be able to accomplish what you want by either a) swapping out the Mesh field on your MeshFilter component or b) using a prefab and the standard workflows for propagating changes to prefab instances.
