Editor

Edit Data

This is where you can edit data, including adding, modifying, deleting, and restoring items.

Restore Items

Deleted items are stored in a dedicated table linked to the data file configuration. However, if any property in the data file configuration is modified, the deleted items table for that configuration will be cleared to prevent conflicts.

Data File Size Limitation

Data files (ModuleScripts) are limited to 200,000 characters due to Roblox’s StringValue constraint. This cap applies when programmatically setting the source of a ModuleScript as items are added, modified, or removed. However, 200,000 characters are typically more than sufficient and won’t be a problem in most scenarios.
To overcome this limit if needed, consider organizing your data by splitting items into different data files based on categories (e.g., weapons, armor, food) with identical properties, then combining them into a single table at game runtime using Lua scripts. For example, you could create separate data files like WeaponsData, ArmorData, and FoodData, each with properties like name, value, type, ... and use a script to merge them into a unified ItemsTable on game start.
You can temporarily exceed 100% of the 200,000-character limit during plugin runtime. However, any data beyond this threshold will not be written to the ModuleScript and will be lost when Studio restarts. Warnings will appear in the Studio output to indicate this issue.

Search

The search tab on the Editor page lets you find items in your data file. Set conditions by using logical (AND/OR) and relational operators (e.g., ==, >, <) and insert the values to find matching items.

Tabs

For Dropdown UI Elements, there’s an option in the 'Data File Settings' to display them as additional tabs on the editor page. This feature allows you to click on a value within the tab to list all associated items.
