    Hello,

    I generate some VisualElement/Label with a script when I enter play mode.

    But when I look at "UI BUILDER" I can't see what my script did (only in game screen of course).

    Is there a way to "inspect" my UI after play mode ?

    The UI Builder is only meant to show contents of a UXML, and since you're programmatically creating your VisualElement/Label, it won't be able to see it there indeed.

    Have you tried the UI Toolkit Debugger? You can access it through Window > UI Toolkit > Debugger or in any Editor Window's menu. You'll have a view of the hierarchy of your UI and be able to check on property values for each element individually, even change some values - just be aware none of those edits will be saved anywhere. You'll need to select the name of your PanelSettings under the dropdown menu.
