DataForge Lite – ScriptableObject Spreadsheet

No more clicking through assets one at a time in the Inspector. 

Note: This is the Free version of the Full DataForge

DataForge LITE puts every ScriptableObject of a type into a single editable grid — pick a type like WeaponData, EnemyData or ItemData, and every asset becomes a row, every serialized field a column.

It's the free edition of DataForge: the core spreadsheet view and inline editing, offline, with nothing to install. Every change writes straight to the real .asset file with full Undo — exactly like editing in the Inspector, just all in one place.

📊 Why DataForge LITE?

• 📊 Spreadsheet View — A dockable, resizable grid where rows are your assets and columns are their fields. Frozen header, pagination, optional asset thumbnails, and a recent-types list so you can hop back to what you were working on. It also remembers your last type, search, page and selected cell between sessions.
• ✏️ Inline Editing — Click a cell and type. Edits use Unity's own property drawers, so colors, curves, gradients, enums and object references all behave the way they do in the Inspector. Lock a column read-only when you don't want to touch it by accident.
• 🔍 Find & Focus — Live search across asset names and cell values, click a header to sort, and show/hide columns to focus on the fields you actually care about — handy once a type has a lot of fields.
• 📋 Copy & Paste — Copy cells and paste single values right in the grid.
• 🎮 Sample Data Included — Comes with ready-to-poke-at RPG-style ScriptableObjects (weapons, enemies, items) and a short interactive demo, so you can get a feel for it in a couple of minutes.

🚀 How It Works

1. Open Window → DataForge → Open DataForge (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D).
2. Pick a ScriptableObject type from the toolbar — every asset of that type loads as a row.
3. Click any cell and edit. Search, sort and hide columns to find what you need.
4. Changes save to the real assets, with full Undo.

🧩 Practical Notes

• Free & Offline — Free, and yours to keep — no account, no subscription. Works offline; nothing phones home.
• Zero Runtime Footprint — Editor-only: every script lives in an Editor folder and is stripped from your player builds. No impact on player build size.
• No Dependencies — Import and open with full C# source included.
• Compatibility — Works with all render pipelines (Built-in, URP, HDRP). Requires Unity 2021.3 LTS or newer, including Unity 6.
