Updating renamed bound elements.

Heya, I'm having trouble getting bound elements to update their name, nothing I do seems to matter.

I threw together a script to do... well basically anything I could think of to get the name to update, however it will not update the name until I close the window and open it again, despite the asset being successfully renamed in the editor.

Code (CSharp):

1.             renamer.RegisterCallback<BlurEvent>(evnt =>
2.             {
3.                 if (property.objectReferenceValue)
4.                 {
5.                     AssetDatabase.RenameAsset(AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(property.objectReferenceValue), renamer.value);
6.                     AssetDatabase.Refresh();
7.                     AssetDatabase.ImportAsset(AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(property.objectReferenceValue));
8.                     AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
9.                     property.objectReferenceValue.name = renamer.value;
10.                     property.serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();
11.                     property.serializedObject.Update();
12.                     scriptableObjectField.MarkDirtyRepaint();
13.                     rootElement.MarkDirtyRepaint();
14.                 }
15.             });

Thanks for your time.

 

Thanks for the reply, here's what I've found.

1.

Code (CSharp):

1.                     AssetDatabase.RenameAsset(AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(property.objectReferenceValue), renamer.value);
2.                     AssetDatabase.Refresh();
3.                     AssetDatabase.ImportAsset(AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(property.objectReferenceValue));
4.                     AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
5.                    
6.                     property.objectReferenceValue.name = renamer.value;
7.                     Debug.Log(property.objectReferenceValue.GetInstanceID());
8.  

The reference id's do match up after the rename (In my case, my instance ID was -2770 and the renamed asset still had an instance ID of -2770)

2.
Good to know, I'll remove these. Was essentially just trying things at random ;p.

3.

Just doing

Code (CSharp):

1. property.objectReferenceValue.name = renamer.value;

Behaves essentially the same way, except of course the asset file's name stays the same. It does reflect the name change in the property, but only after clicking on a different object and letting the inspector rebuild.

4.
Bind and unbind also behave the same way, using these as trials they behave exactly the same as above.

Code (CSharp):

1.                     AssetDatabase.RenameAsset(AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(property.objectReferenceValue), renamer.value);
2.                     AssetDatabase.Refresh();
3.                     AssetDatabase.ImportAsset(AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(property.objectReferenceValue));
4.                     AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
5.                     property.objectReferenceValue.name = renamer.value;
6.                     scriptableObjectField.Unbind();
7.                     scriptableObjectField.BindProperty(property);

or

Code (CSharp):

1.                    
2.                     property.objectReferenceValue.name = renamer.value;
3.                     scriptableObjectField.Unbind();
4.                     scriptableObjectField.BindProperty(property);

I've even tried forcing CreatePropertyGUI to run again, but it still does not update

Code (CSharp):

1.                     property.objectReferenceValue.name = renamer.value;
2.                     rootElement = CreatePropertyGUI(property);

Silly issue but it's sure not an easy fix!

Thanks again for your time =]

 

I got this working by simply changing the name first then calling SaveAssets() and finally calling RenameAssets()+Refresh()
