Cloned modules loaded by ID are empty

Im tryna clone a module that I required by ID, but the source of the cloned module is empty. I attached a repro. Just upload the module in ServerStorage as a model and clone the ID then replace the ID in the script in ServerScriptService

Do you mean a private module? You can’t clone these as it’d allow them to be stolen :eyes: Also, requiring won’t return the module instance meaning there’s nothing to clone
If you use InsertService instead this shouldn’t be an issue.

I don’t know what you mean by “required”. When you do require(moduleId) it works exactly the same as requiring a module object. If you mean inserting then that’s a different story. (Try setting Archivable to true)

#4

You can get the module instance by adding

Module.ModuleInstance = script

to the module before you upload it. Then when you try clone that ModuleInstance its source is blank which is a bug. Idk how it would prevent stealing the source code of the module if the cloning is being done by the person who wrote the module
