CloseProvides the hash value for the property. (Read Only)
You can use this to track if there has been any changes to the value at the property path (Additional resources: SerializedProperty.propertyPath).
Please note that:
-If the size of the property's content is smaller than or equal to 32 bits, then the content will be returned instead of a hash.
-If the property path leads to an array or complex type, the hash will correspond to the entire content.
-If the property is a field with [SerializeReference] attribute, or a compound type that contains such a field, then the content hashing doesn't include the content of the referenced object, instead it only hashes the reference id (Additional resources: SerializedProperty.managedReferenceId).

public class MyObject : ScriptableObject { public string myString = "answer to life the universe and everything"; public string[] myStringArray = { "answer", "to", "life", "the", "universe", "and", "everything" }; public int[] myIntArray = { 42, 442, 422, 4242 };
