I’m trying to build a base for an inventory system, and my method is to create a table in a datastore for the player with the names/ids of the items owned by the player.
Here’s what I’ve got so far.
local data = {
["Inventory"] = {0000000,00000,0000,00000,0000}
}
How would I add values to this ["Inventory"] table, without overwriting previous values?
Roblox has a built in library of functions for tables. One of these functions is table.insert() which allows for values to easily be added to a table.

There are several valid ways of doing this!
There is no shame in doing it the simple way sometimes too!
All of these methods work:
MyTable[#MyTable+1] = Malue
table.insert(MyTable, #MyTable+1, Value)
table.insert(MyTable, Value)
