Try experimenting with datastore API, tables.

Hello :grinning:

The developer forum has a few articles about data stores so have a look and they will help

Good Luck

If you simply want to update an index within the table then just use UpdateAsync.

datastore:UpdateAsync(key, function(oldValue)

    -- We expect oldValue to be a table
    oldValue = oldValue or {}

    -- Set the value
    oldValue["index"] = value

    return oldValue
end)

local function banplayer(plr)
local t = {}
local bans = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Bans"):GetAsync("List")
for i,v in pairs(bans) do
table.insert(t,v)
end
table.insert(t,plr)
game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Bans"):SetAsync("List",t)
end
