The IsEditable property of the SerializedProperty class indicates whether the property can be edited. This property is virtual, allowing derived classes to override its behavior if necessary. It returns a boolean value, where true means the property is editable, and false means it is not.
Use the IsEditable property to determine if a serialized property can be modified. This is particularly useful when implementing custom editors or UI elements that need to respect the editability of properties.
// Example of checking if a SerializedProperty is editable
SerializedProperty property = GetSerializedProperty();
if (property.IsEditable)
{
// The property is editable, proceed with editing logic
property.SetValue(newValue);
}
else
{
// The property is not editable, handle accordingly
// e.g., display a message or disable editing UI
}
