asset is emty on enering play mode

Question

Hi, I have written a code where I parse xml file to List of items and create a serializable asset with that list. My problem is that when I enter a playmode my asset becomes empty. Do you have any ideas in why is that happening?

Thank you in advance.

Code:

 [Serializable]
 public class Day
 {
     public int Id { get; set; }
     public string Time { get; set; }
     public string Weather { get; set; }
     
     public List<GroupWave> GroupWaves { get; set; }
 }
 
 [Serializable]
 public class GroupWave
 {
     public List<Wave> Waves { get; set; }
 }
 
 [Serializable]
 public class Wave
 {
     public int At { get; set; }
     public int GenerateTime { get; set; }
     
     public List<Enemy> Enemies { get; set; }
 }
 
 [Serializable]
 public class Enemy
 {
     public string Id { get; set; }
     public string EnemyType { get; set; }
     public int Count { get; set; }
     public string Route { get; set; }
 }

And creating asset:

 public class ParseConfig : EditorWindow
 {
     //private const string xmlPath = "Assets/StreamingAssets/game_config.xml";
     private const string assetPath = "Assets/Resources/game_config.asset";
 
     [MenuItem("Zombie Sniper/Parse config")]
     public static void ParseAndSerializeData()
     {
         var days = DaysEntitiesParser.Parse(Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/game_config.xml");
         ScriptableObjectData data = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<ScriptableObjectData>();
         data.SetData(days.ToArray());
 
         EditorUtility.SetDirty(data);
 
         AssetDatabase.DeleteAsset(assetPath);
         AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(data, assetPath);
         AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
         AssetDatabase.Refresh();
     }
 }

Solution was to use [SerializeField] attribute:

 [System.Serializable]
 public class Day
 {
     [SerializeField]
     private int id;
     [SerializeField]
     private string time;
     [SerializeField]
     private string weather;
     [SerializeField]
     private GroupWave[] groupWaves;
 
     public int Id 
     { 
         get { return id; } 
         set { id = value; }
     }
     public string Time 
     { 
         get { return time; }
         set { time = value; }
     }
     public string Weather 
     { 
         get { return weather; }
         set { weather = value; }
     }
     public GroupWave[] GroupWaves 
     { 
         get { return groupWaves; }
         set { groupWaves = value; }
     }
 }
 
 [System.Serializable]
 public class GroupWave
 {
     [SerializeField]
     private Wave[] waves;
     
     public Wave[] Waves 
     { 
         get { return waves; }
         set { waves = value; }
     }
 }
 
 [System.Serializable]
 public class Wave
 {
     [SerializeField]
     private int at;
     [SerializeField]
     private int generateTime;
     [SerializeField]
     private Enemy[] enemies;
 
     public int At 
     { 
         get { return at; }
         set { at = value; }
     }
     public int GenerateTime 
     { 
         get { return generateTime; }
         set { generateTime = value; }
     }
     public Enemy[] Enemies 
     { 
         get { return enemies; }
         set { enemies = value; }
     }
 }
 
 [System.Serializable]
 public class Enemy
 {
     [SerializeField]
     private string id;
     [SerializeField]
     private string enemyType;
     [SerializeField]
     private int count;
     [SerializeField]
     private string route;
 
     public string Id 
     { 
         get { return id; }
         set { id = value; }
     }
     public string EnemyType 
     { 
         get { return enemyType; }
         set { enemyType = value; }
     }
     public int Count 
     { 
         get { return count; }
         set { count = value; } 
     }
     public string Route 
     { 
         get { return route; }
         set { route = value; }
     }
 }
