{
    [AnySerialize] public Dictionary<int, Lazy<Dictionary<Guid, TimeSpan>>> Value { get; }
}

Type	Inspector
T[] T[][] T[][][]
List<T> IList<T> IReadOnlyList<T>
Dictionary<TKey, TValue> IDictionary<TKey, TValue> IReadOnlyDictionary<TKey, TValue>
T?
Lazy<T>
Guid
TimeSpan
DateTime
[AnySerializable] public class AnySerializableClass { // optional, but recommend. // prevent issue on reorder fields. [AnySerializeFieldOrder(0)] public int[][] Array2; [AnySerializeFieldOrder(1)] public Dictionary<int, string> Dict; [AnySerializeFieldOrder(2)] public int? Nullable; [AnySerializeFieldOrder(3)] public Lazy<int> Lazy; }

Custom Serializable Types

// custom serializable value type
[Serializable]
public class AnyGuid : 
    IReadOnlyAny<Guid>, // IReadOnlyAny<T> for readonly property (get only)
    IAny<Guid>          // IAny<T> for read-write property (get and set)
{
    [SerializeField] private string _guid; // unity serialize field

    public Guid Value
    {
        get => Guid.Parse(_guid);          // convert serialize field to output value
        set => _guid = value.ToString();   // convert output value to serialize field
    }
}

// custom serializable container type
[Serializable]
// use AnyConstraintTypeAttribute on generic parameter to automatically find type by its constraint
// e.g. T is int, then TAny will be replaced by AnyValue_Int32
public class ReadOnlyAnyList<T, [AnyConstraintType] TAny>
    : IReadOnlyAny<List<T>>
    where TAny : IReadOnlyAny<T>
{
    [SerializeField] private List<TAny> _value = default!;
    public List<T> Value => _value.Select(v => v.Value);
}
