DataStoreService’s method GetDataStore returns type GlobaDataStore instead of DataStore
It’s also a small inconsistency in the Documentation.
GetOrderedDataStore returns an OrderedDataStore.GetGlobalDataStore returns an GlobalDataStore.
and GetDataStore``'s definition doesn't return a DataStore`
Copy paste this code:
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DS_Test2 = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("test_2")
Then type DS_Test2 so that the autocomplete starts stepping in. Compare it to the image attached in the Description .
That it returns DataStore instead.
It returns GlobalDataStore.
I think this is why
If I look at the API Dump.

Alright. Let’s see.
I…
Okay, let’s see. It looks like that this was fixed. : D
Very Cool!
However… now I don’t know…
Now GetGlobalDataStore doesn’t return GlobalDataStore anymore though.
But maybe that’s not an issue, because the methods a DataStore has, seems to be available for a GlobalDataStore as well.
Hi, thank you for your feedback.
We recently release a fix that changed the return type of GetDataStore() and GetGlobalDataStore() to DataStore. And you are correct that DataStore inherits all the methods from GlobalDataStore. Please let us know if you have any additional comments or suggestions.
Happy building!
