Editor becomes unresponsive and performance is continually degraded when selecting a Scriptable Object with a large dataset

Scripting

Feb 04, 2021

How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached project ("ScriptableObjectLargeDataset")
2. Select "Assets/data.asset"

Expected results: Inspector displays the view of the asset immediately and editor performance is unaffected
Actual result: Editor becomes unresponsive, the inspector then displays but editor performance is degraded

Reproducible with: 2018.4.32f1, 2019.4.20f1, 2020.2.3f1, 2021.1.0b5, 2021.2.0a4

Resolution Note:

It's by design that the Editor is unresponsive when a Scriptable Object has a very large string. String requires lots of extra-processing. A byte array is blittable and therefore much faster. The recommendation would be to use a different ScriptableObject for storage than the one for editing.

This always happen to me. I learned that updating the system will resolve this issue. Why does the system doesn't have an auto-update? Anyway, if you want help with your assignments and term paper writing, I recommend a-writter.com. They have the best and experienced writers, I know because I already purchased their service for myself. Check them out
