so i have this script

01DataTable[Player] = {
02    Level = 1,
03    currentEXP = 0,
04    Cash = 0,
05    AlphaPlayer = 1, --Disable on full version
06}
07for i = 1, #Tools do
08    table.insert(DataTable[Player],tostring(Tools[i]))
09end
10table.insert(DataTable[Player],"CandyCorn")
11DataTable[Player].CandyCorn = true
12DataStore:SetAsync(PlayerKey, DataTable[Player])

but i cant seem to change the value of Candy Corn Before it gets saved any ideas on how to do this?

You can't do DataTable[Player], but you could do DataTable["Player"] or DataTable.Player User#22219 20 — 6y
