No way…

It seems to be working atm! :smiley: Just going through and testing to make sure every bit of it is saving, as well as picking up if anything new is added

Yea, I have ran a test and its working fine.

function updateObject(old, new)
    local update = {}
    for name, variable in next, new do
        update[name] = (type(variable) == 'table' and old[name] and updateObject(old[name], variable)) or old[name] or variable
    end
    return update
end

local old = {test1 = "hello", test2 = {"a", "b", "c"}, test3 = 'test'}
local new  = {test0 = "hey", test1 = "hello", test2 = {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"}}

local updatedTable = updateObject(old, new)

for i,v in next, updatedTable do
	print(i,v)
	if type(v) == 'table' then
		for i,v in next, v do
			print('\t', i, v)
		end
	end
end
