can datastore data be viewed?
I've recently created a Data saving script for playerdata in my game. The system looks like this:
01 | local function SaveData(player) |
02 | if player.userId < 0 then return end |
03 | player:WaitForChild("leaderstats") |
04 | wait() |
05 | local leaderstats = {} |
06 | for i, stat in pairs(player.leaderstats:GetChildren()) do |
07 | table.insert(leaderstats, {stat.Name, stat.Value}) |
08 | end |
09 | leaderboardData:SetAsync(player.userId, leaderstats) |
10 | Print("Saved "..player.Name.."'s data") |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | local function LoadData(player) |
14 | if player.userId < 0 then return end |
15 | player:WaitForChild("leaderstats") |
Now it works perfectly, but I have found that I cannot view the data it has saved.
By this I mean the data loads and you can see it in-game, but I cannot see what the datastore service holds for each player in the studio. If I saw a player and wanted to change one of their statistics, I don't know where I would go to do that. Does anyone know where I can see the datastore service's contents?
this will be appreciated

First of all, please codeblock your code using the blue Lua button then put your code within the squiggly lines.
The answer to your question is no, at least not the way you think. Roblox does not allow us to see the entire contents because they don't have a spot available for everyone to view. To view data, you need to make it yourself. You would need to use GetAsync and make code to sort the data to be readable for you and to edit data, you'd have to make code to do so yourself and then save it. I am unsure if you can view the same data in game as you can in studio, as in I don't know if the same data is shared.
Here are some other methods you could do to view and edit player data, although they are more advance.
Create your own website and save data on it, this way you have the ultimate control on all data saved and can view it, of course half of this requires different coding languages than lua.
A second method is using google spreadsheets (I believe this website) which is a little more easier because you should only need Lua and the http service.
