I tried making a part appear and disappear in the workspace but it didn't work?

I tried making a part that gives the players a jumpboost when they stepped on it. I stored it in the ReplicatedStorage so I can clone the jumpboost part and put it in the workspace. First the part will spawn in the workspace, and then it will give the player that touched the part a jumpboost, and then the part would proceed by destroying itself when it has been touched by the player and respawn again in the workspace. Unfortunately, it didn't work. The part didn't seem to spawn in. Here's the script:

local jumpBoost = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("JumpBoost")
local clonedJumpBoost = jumpBoost:Clone()
clonedJumpBoost.Parent = workspace
local boostPart = game.ReplicatedStorage.JumpBoost
local boostedJumpPower = 100
local function onPartTouch(otherPart)
    local partParent = otherPart.Parent
    local humanoid = partParent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
    if ( humanoid ) then
        boostPart.CanCollide = false
        local currentJumpPower = humanoid.JumpPower
        if currentJumpPower < boostedJumpPower then
            humanoid.JumpPower = boostedJumpPower
            boostPart:Destroy()
            wait(10)
            humanoid.JumpPower = currentJumpPower
        end
    end
end
boostPart.Touched:Connect(onPartTouch)
clonedJumpBoost.Parent = game.Workspace

The reason this isn't working is the local boostPart in the code. Yes the value works but the code lines are using it for the one in ReplicatedStorage not in workspace.

Change them to clonedJumpBoost and see what happens then.

remade script with respawning the part, script doesn't work in ReplicatedStorage i recommend placing it in ServerScriptStorage, set the respawn value to false will stop the respawning

local jumpBoost = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("JumpBoost")
local clonedJumpBoost = jumpBoost:Clone()
clonedJumpBoost.Parent = workspace
local boostedJumpPower = 100
local respawn = true --set to false to disable respawning
local function respawn()
    if respawn then
        local jumpBoost2 = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild('JumpBoost')
        local clonedJumpBoost2 = jumpBoost2:Clone()
        clonedJumpBoost2.Parent = workspace
        local boostedJumpPower = 100
        local function onPartTouch2(otherPart)
            local partParent = otherPart.Parent
            local humanoid = partParent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
            if humanoid then
                clonedJumpBoost2.CanCollide = false
                local currentJumpPower = humanoid.JumpPower
                if currentJumpPower < boostedJumpPower then
                    humanoid.JumpPower = boostedJumpPower
                    clonedJumpBoost2:Destroy()
                    wait(10)
                    humanoid.JumpPower = currentJumpPower
                    wait(1)
                    respawn()
                end
            end
        end
        clonedJumpBoost2.Touched:Connect(onPartTouch2)
    else
        return
    end
end
local function onPartTouch(otherPart)
    local partParent = otherPart.Parent
    local humanoid = partParent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
    if humanoid then
        clonedJumpBoost.CanCollide = false
        local currentJumpPower = humanoid.JumpPower
        if currentJumpPower < boostedJumpPower then
            humanoid.JumpPower = boostedJumpPower
            clonedJumpBoost:Destroy()
            wait(10)
            humanoid.JumpPower = currentJumpPower
            wait(1)
            respawn()
        end
    end
end
clonedJumpBoost.Touched:Connect(onPartTouch)
