Editor Field Editors (IFieldEditor)

Overview

Field Editors (IFieldEditor) provide runtime polymorphic rendering for script properties discovered via reflection. They use a non-generic, boxing-based interface to handle arbitrary types at runtime.

When to Use This Skill

• Creating custom field editors for new types (Quaternion, Color, custom structs)
• Understanding how script properties are rendered in Script Inspector
• Extending FieldEditorRegistry with new type support
• Working with UIPropertyRenderer.DrawPropertyField() infrastructure
• NOT for component editors
