You can use a table to store all the keys. Then loop through them;

local ToClick = {workspace.key1, workspace.key2, workspace.key3, workspace.key4);

for i, Key in pairs(ToClick) do
    Key.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(Player)
          Key.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage;
    end)
end

Thank you Zethuslmam. i wanted to ask, what does "in pairs" do?

I'm pretty sure in pairs just returns 2 values from every iteration of that loop, i being the index (for example if the loop was iterating through workspace.key1, i would be 1 since that's the first value in the table) and the actual value from that table (if the index was 1 then that means we are at the first position of the table so the variable "Key" would be workspace.key1)
