Get the instance the SerializedProperty belongs to in a CustomPropertyDrawer

Hello,

I think this is an old issue and I found several people with the same problem but not a real answer.

The problem is when you have a Class ClassWithCustomPropertyDrawer with a custom property drawer and you have an array of this class or you have a class A that contains an object of class B that contains an object of type ClassWithCustomPropertyDrawer.
ClassA
- ClassB
-- ClassWithCustomPropertyDrawer

The problem is that fieldInfo.GetValue(property.serializedObject.targetObject) get an error because targetObject returns the monobehaviour an not the actual object.

I have seen some workarrounds and pseudo-fixes but they are "too workarround" and they doesn't work sometimes.

Isn't there any Unity built-in real solution for this problem?

I am pretty sure that this problem has to be very common but I can not find any solution.

Thank you very much.

I don't think you're meant to do that... I also asked this question a while ago, and i was told that the managed (C#) object may not even exist. Recall that SerializedProperties are merely a "view" for a serialized stream of data; it may not exactly correspond to a managed object at all...
