Godot version

RC 6

System information

Windows 10

Issue description

If you have a node extend a class containing variables with @export annotations, the inspector doesn't update the node until modifying the main node script, or restarting Godot.

Steps to reproduce

Create a superclass and then make a new scene with a node, extend the superclass in the node's script Example using Node2D as my scene node

Superclass script:

extends Node2D
class_name Superclass

Node in the scene script: extends TestSuperclass

Then, just add a variable to the superclass with the @export annotation, like this:

extends Node2D
class_name Superclass

@export var test = "test"

You'll notice the inspector won't update to include the new variable. Modify the Node2D script and add a variable with an @export annotation. Ex:

extends TestSuperclass

@export var testing = "This one is visible in the inspector"

And now both variables are visible in the inspector.

Minimal reproduction project

N/A Re-opening the project causes to inspector to update and show everything correctly.

I'm having a problem exporting aswell using C#, but restarting or editing main node script doesn't solve it.

C# exports do not show up in the inspector until after building the project. Add your exports, press the build button, and then they will be available in the inspector.
