Unable to modify NonUniformScale or Scale of entity at runtime?

Hi,

I tried modifying the scale of my entity which is created at runtime using a gameobject prefab but I am unable to do so. The prefab is a simple cube with a meshrenderer and a collider.

Here is my system. The entity doesn't respond to this.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class ResizeSystem : JobComponentSystem
2. {
3.     protected override JobHandle OnUpdate(JobHandle inputDeps)
4.     {
5.         float dt = Time.DeltaTime;
6.  
7.         // resizing, scaling does not seem to work
8.  
9.         Entities
10.             .WithAll<ResizeTag>()
11.             .ForEach((ref Scale scale) =>
12.         {
13.             scale.Value += 0.1f * dt;
14.         }).Run();
15.  
16.         return default;
17.     }
18. }

Even when I inspect the entity after clicking on it in the Entity Debugger, it doesn't seem to show a scale or NonUniformScale component.

I even tried explicitly adding NonUniformScale to the entity when it is instantiated but it made no difference.

If I try to write a system that modifies the rotation or translation component instead, it works without issues.
