Hi. I have different maps in my game and each has a set of buttons, which need to be synchronized between players. I have these maps as prefabs, and I want to spawn them in runtime for all clients. The problem is, I have to synchronize these buttons somehow and I know it's not allowed to spawn prefabs with nested network objects :( Do you guys know any work around for this? Technically I could just have these maps all in the scene, not as prefabs, and I could turn them on/off, but that's just ugly.

Network object should only be on the root of the prefab. And unless those are world space UI, the UI elements should be kept local to the client canvas
Usually I would have a single UI manager that is syncing button state and what not

uhh by "buttons" i mean 3d objects, not UI elements. they react to player collision and fire events. sorry for not being precise enough

Same principles still apply. You only need a NetworkObject on the root. Manage the syncing of the buttons in a NetworkBehaviour. This can either be on the root with the NetworkObject or in a separate NetworkBehaviour on the buttons.
