[SOLVED] ScriptableObject is NOT getting saved!

I have a custom editor for my scriptable object and this is what I do:

Code (CSharp):

1.         public override void OnInspectorGUI()
2.         {
3.             var myTarget= (MyScript) target;
4.             DrawEditor();
5.             if (GUILayout.Button("Save"))
6.             {          
7.                 EditorUtility.SetDirty(myTarget);
8.                 AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
9.             }
10.         }

When I click the save button, the editor saves everything (the mouse icon changes) but as soon as I navigate away from my scriptable object, it's fields are reset to default values! What gives?

 

Thank you! That solved it.

 

What did that solve seriously? This thread is certainly not helpful.

 

This thread is several years old and in the time since then that documentation entry has changed multiple times.

Unity 5.2 had an example of how to use it:
https://docs.unity3d.com/520/Documentation/ScriptReference/EditorUtility.SetDirty.html

Unity 5.3 said it was going to be deprecated:
https://docs.unity3d.com/530/Documentation/ScriptReference/EditorUtility.SetDirty.html

Unity 5.4 removed that warning and added a method to be called prior to calling it:
https://docs.unity3d.com/540/Documentation/ScriptReference/EditorUtility.SetDirty.html

Unity 2018.4 removed the reference to the method:
https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.4/Documentation/ScriptReference/EditorUtility.SetDirty.html

Unity 2019.1 added the method reference back:
https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/EditorUtility.SetDirty.html

Unity 2019.2 removed it again:
https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/EditorUtility.SetDirty.html

Unity 2020.2 they finally removed the notice altogether:
https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/EditorUtility.SetDirty.html

All of the above makes me wish there was a proper history for every page like you see on a wiki.
