Does DS:UpdateAsync() Still Work in 2020?

Hello, back in 2019 it was well agreed that UpdateAsync WAS broken, and Staff did say it was going to be deprecated and should be substituted for “MessagingService.” However, I am curious if instead there was a change of plan and UpdateAsync indeed was fixed. I was looking in the Roblox API and the UpdateAsync method has no mentions of it being broken as shown:

Does anybody know about the current status of this?

Do you have a source for this?

MessagingService is not an alternative for updating data. You’re misinformed.

You mean .OnUpdate not UpdateAsync

Yes .OnUpdate is replaced by Messaging Service.

UpdateAsync requires the key to already exist, as it requires an old value. Otherwise, you should be using SetAsync.

You may be thinking of another member called OnUpdate, which was replaced by messaging service, and so is deprecated.
