are you working with github? if so, this could help you hotfixing the bug:
1. make a trivial modification in the prefab with info loss.
2. git reset --hard HEAD
3. return to unity, and reload the scene
the lost information should return after doing this.

I'm having this issue as well, my game object references keep disappearing randomly from prefabs and objects in the hierarchy. It seems to happen after saving, build, or completely just at random times. Very frustrating, and I basically cannot work on my game at all until this is fixed. I spend all my time re-adding game object references that keep disappearing.

It looks like this is fixed in 2018.3.6 but actually it's not. I'll send a new bug report.

Hey, if this isn't fixed can we actually get a fix, guys? Nobody wants to upgrade if it legit breaks everyone's projects. Stuff like this needs to be a top priority.

Hi again,
The Issue that I mentioned earlier seems a little bit different for me,
Apparently, I only faced it once I upgraded the project and again Apparently all the meshes that had a similar name where missed,
i.e. for my road, it's is segmented and in 3Ds Max I named all road meshes for all segments as "road" without any number to distinguish them and most of them are missing.
p.s. why can't we remove comments? I think my issue is different so I just wanted to remove it.
thanks for the support btw
