    As you can see up there, the sprite addressable have two fields while others like prefab does not. What is the use of that other field?

    Answering for people being puzzled by this at first and searching for it. Like me.

    The documentation states that
    Sprite and SpriteAtlas assets can have subobjects. AssetReferences assigned these types of asset display an additional object picker that allows you to specify which subobject to reference.

    This seems to apply for other types of assets too that come with subobjects, for example FontAssets.
