Prefabs not turning blue and losing connection

I just have the same issue - something is wrong: A prefab can be instantiated (drag dropping), and it looks fine.. but it's not blue?!? Reverting etc does no difference..?

It's caused by missing scripts in the prefab. :)

Still seeing this issue nearly 6 months later...

UPDATE: Ironically, just minutes after posting this, we discovered an apparent "fix" for a prefab that won't turn blue when changes are applied.

1. Create a new empty GameObject inside the prefab in question.

2. Click the prefabs Apply button near the top of the Inspector to apply the new object to the prefab.

3. Delete the prefab from your scene.

4. Re-add the prefab to your scene from your project Assets.

5. Delete the empty prefab created in Step #1.

6. Click the prefab's Apply button.

The funky prefab should now be the comforting blue color that you have come to know and love.

Hope this helps someone out there.

Hello, I am still having this issue in version 2017.4.5f1. The link works one-way. Grey prefabs in the scene are able to update the actual prefab asset with Apply. But making changes directly to the asset in the folder will not update the grey prefabs in the scene.

The strangest thing of all is that even when dragging out a new prefab into the scene will make this new one grey as well.

The fix described by Lucid-Amusement sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't.

This is giving me so much trouble.
