Unity-SerializableDictionary VS NaughtyAttributes

Unity SerializableDictionary - It works, but doesn't follow Unity styling well imo, it's code is more complex than need be, and it handles lists as values poorly. You also may run in to issues if you do semi-advanced stuff with custom editors.

I've been using this package for some years now, not sure if you know about it: https://github.com/azixMcAze/Unity-SerializableDictionary

NaughtyAttributes is a free plugin that allows you to do so. By using attributes you can make your fields a lot easier to manage. For example [Tag] is an attribute that allows your string to be directly linked to the corresponding tag.

In Unity, you could use NaughtyAttributes and then use the [Required] attribute to indicate that a value is mandatory.

NaughtyAttributes https://github.com/dbrizov/NaughtyAttributes is amazing for quickly and easily customizing script inspectors without having to resort to a full custom inspector GUI

Naughty Attributes is your friend

It's a professional team of ~15. Being able to customize the display of data within the Inspector makes it much easier for less technical team members to tune and create.

I personally love Naughty Attributes: https://github.com/dbrizov/NaughtyAttributes which makes it easy to add inspector buttons to functions.

I went and looked for the open source version I mentioned - https://github.com/dbrizov/NaughtyAttributes

For Unity, I strongly recommend something like NaughtyAttributes to help expose your data in the Inspector with better widgets and validation. (There are paid alternatives too. Odin might accomplish a lot of the same?)

There's also free alternatives like naughty attributes which has a HideIf attribute too
