Your problem is that you have an instance named “Name” You cant call it like that;
You should either do newLbFrams[“Name”].Text to get the instance or you should just name it “name” instead.
Right now its trying to get to its name and then find another property called “Text” which doesnt exist.

I am pretty sure you can also use FindFirstChild("Name") or WaitForChild("Name"), but it's true. The script is referring to the property Name, not the child Name. LightningLIon58 49 — 4y

You could, but its shorter to write what I sent and you dont need findfirst or waitfor because its an instance created with studio, its surely there. iOwn_You 543 — 4y
