Datastore not updating on other servers?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am using a dataStore is hopes for a cross-Server display billboard. When I SetAsync this datastore to a new Text, the billboard text should update as well.

But, the issue is, when I run a SetAsync from the game in the DevConsole, it only updates in the server I called it in, not the other servers. GetAsync() Appears to not be getting the new value I set on the dataStore in other servers? How can I make a dataStore replicate to other servers after being set on another server?

Get Code:

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Award")
local lastScreen = dataStore:GetAsync("Award")

while wait(3) do
	local AwardText = dataStore:GetAsync("Award")
end

Show your code (or an example). OnUpdate is working fine for me. By showing your code it can help explain why your code isn’t working.
