# DataObject Property Drawer

The DataObject dropdown property drawer is a very powerful UI element which draws your DataObjects fields and custom editor inside of your custom classes. To make use of the property drawer simply add the **DataObjectDropdown** attribute to your DataObject field. A required string must be provided to the attribute which is the name of the DataLibrary reference field. \
See following example:

```csharp
// All Databrain attributes are in this namespace
using Databrain.Attributes;

// Data Library reference
public DataLibrary data;

[DataObjectDropdown(nameof(data))]
public DataObject myDataObject;
```

The property drawer can display custom editors like the Logic - node editor, default fields and also custom Odin Inspector editors. (Since version 1.3)

<div data-full-width="false"><figure><img src="/files/RvQjCLpQACwvM09rmPBG" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Using the Runtime switch, switches from initial to the runtime data object. (If there's any runtime DataObject available)

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/cJOkVQ8hL9nezt90snsW" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

1. Add DataObjectDropdown attribute to a DataObject field and provide the name of the DataLibrary field.
2. Select and assign the DataObject from the dropdown.
