6. if i have a scriptable component, and i choose for one of the input values a type hint, and then i change my mind and want it to go back to the default value (none selected), how can retract to that stage (no type hint)? i tried clicking the same type again, but didn't work. undo doesn't work either.

No selection appears to be doing the same as System.Object (first in the list). That one should work.

7. why doesn't .Length property work in C# scriptable component on input lists?
I have this list that goes in one of the input hooks of the component. the hook is set on "List". if i apply in the script the .Length extension to that variable, it gives an error "System Collections.Generic.List does not contain a definition for 'Length'". if i apply the same thing to a internally generated list, it works...
thanks!

i think you have a data tree as input so you have to flatten the input and rebuild it inside

thanks for the answer. unfortunately i don't have that script any more (or i don't know where it is), but i will try your theory soon and reply here.
thanks!

i ran into the same problem again, and i don't have a tree as input. my input is set on list, and the variable is named "x". if i write x.Length in the script, i get that error message "System Collections.Generic.List does not contain a definition for 'Length'".
any ideas?
thanks
