public static bool PropertyField(SerializedProperty property, params GUILayoutOption[] options)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[SerializedProperty]\(/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityeditor/serializedproperty)): The SerializedProperty to make a field for.**** (\[GUILayoutOption\[]]\(/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/guilayoutoption)): An optional list of layout options that specify extra layout properties. Any values passed in here will override settings defined by the style.\
 Additional Resources: [GUILayout.Width](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/width.md), [GUILayout.Height](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/height.md), [GUILayout.MinWidth](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/minwidth.md), [GUILayout.MaxWidth](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/maxwidth.md), [GUILayout.MinHeight](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/minheight.md), [GUILayout.MaxHeight](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/maxheight.md), [GUILayout.ExpandWidth](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/expandwidth.md), [GUILayout.ExpandHeight](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/guilayout/expandheight.md).

### Returns

| Type                                                          | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [bool](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.boolean) | True if the property has children, is expanded, and `includeChildren` is set to false; otherwise false. You can use it to determine the `isExpanded` state of the property and customize the rendering of children if necessary. |
