Use other Keys than player about roblox HOT 6 CLOSED

There's an open issue for user IDs, but read only. The problem is it's not safe. DataStore2 caches, and so multiple separate instances can end up clashing different data against each other.

And how should it not be safe? Normal Data Stores use it like that too, and some public games too. How should that be unsafe?

Multiple servers can edit the data at the same time, overwriting each other, and not producing a consistent output, especially considering DataStore2 works on a cache. It's a data race.

But that would just be dependant on the use, errors are not your problem if they happen. I mean, you can just support players as safe and other keys as "unsafe" too

I'm not personally interested in adding footguns to DataStore2 given its popularity, though I would encourage you to fork if you need this.
