How can I store variables in OOP

I made this script that stores the given value to the script that can be used later on but I’m not exactly sure how to re-use them later

local MissionFunction = {}
MissionFunction.__index = MissionFunction

function MissionFunction.new(Name, Description, Difficulty, XP, Credit)
	local Mission = {}
	setmetatable(Mission, Mission)
	
	Mission.CallTag = Name
	Mission.Description = Description
	Mission.Difficulty = Difficulty
	Mission.XP = XP
	Mission.Credit = Credit
	
	return Mission
end

function MissionFunction:Load(MissionLabel, DescriptionLabel, DifficultyLabel, XPLabel, CreditLabel)
	MissionLabel.Text = self.CallTag
end

return MissionFunction

It looks like you want to use MissionFunction as the metatable, so you should instead write
setmetatable(Mission, MissionFunction)

Once you do the above change, then you can do the following:

local MissionFunction = require(Path.To.Module)

local mission = MissionFunction.new('name', 'description', 'difficulty', 500)

print(mission.CallTag) --> 'name'
