What do you exactly want to achieve here? If you want a string like "something='d',this='a'" then using String Patterns you can get all of the values from the string, and put it in a table.

like something to turn the value into a table in a script and a way to do the opposite

Inside the value

local svalue = script.Parent
local newValue = {"3" "2" "1"} 

svalue.Value = newValue

You could use HttpService to archive something you described

Example:

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local String = "[1,2,3,4]"

local Table = HttpService:JSONDecode(String)

print(Table)

To turn a table to a string do

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")

local Table = {
	1,
	2,
	3,
	4
}

local String = HttpService:JSONEncode(Table)

print(String) --[1,2,3,4]
