> Hi all, I’m wondering if its possible to serialize a value differently to how we present it for configuration. A simple example would be configure in degrees but serialize in radians. This way I could expose a property however the designer wants, but avoid unnecessary runtime conversion. Is it possible? Any ideas otherwise? Maybe with IPropertyTypeCustomization or PostEditChangeProperty?
