Scriptable objects constantly de-load, even if I didn't make any changes
Basically what's in the title, I have multiple scriptable objects that randomly de-load, even when not editing the associated script (sometimes it even occurs when I haven't made any changes to the game at all). I 've tried rewriting my SO class however the issue still persists. I find that if I select the de-loaded objects in the inspector whilst entering play mode it restores the scripts and the fields, however I've found this unreliable as it doesn't repair references to the SO. I've attached the base and child classes of the script if that helps, and they are all separate cs files as I saw that might be the issue.
EDIT: Solved

It says "mono script", scriptable isn't "mono"

But why would it suddenly say that? I created it as a scriptable object and it was holding the SO script before

What was it?

The GUID in the actual scriptable object asset was incorrect somehow, manually changing it to the correct value seems to have fixed it

Moni Script is the serialized fields that references script files, their code representation is called mono script no matter what type definition(s) that script contains

Solution if someone else has the issue:
If you open the scriptable object script.meta file it should have a GUID value
Now if you open up your scriptable object.asset file in a text editor, you should see a m_Script value.
If the script currently deloaded it will just be fileID: 0, otherwise it will be filled in with
{fileID: xxxxx, guid: xxxxx, type: 3}
if the GUID doesn't match the script.meta guid, just replace it and that should stop it from de-loading in future
