Is it normal that the script does not save data in roblox studio?

Hello everybody! I’ve already done a lot of work with saving progress, but I still can’t understand why the game saves my progress at some points, and sometimes not.

local datastoreservice = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local datastore = datastoreservice:GetDataStore("test1")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	--leaderstats
	
	local Sharpening = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Sharpening.Parent = leaderstats
	Sharpening.Name = "Sharpening"
	Sharpening.Value = 0
	
	local Rebirths = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Rebirths.Parent = leaderstats
	Rebirths.Name = "Rebirths"
	Rebirths.Value = 0
	
	local Money = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Money.Parent = leaderstats
	Money.Name = "Money"
	
	--Knife
	
	local EquipKnife = Instance.new("StringValue", player)
	EquipKnife.Name = "EquipKnife"
	EquipKnife.Value = ""

	local OwnedKnife = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	OwnedKnife.Name = "OwnedKnife"
	
	--Sharping
	local Tools = Instance.new("Folder")
	Tools.Parent = player
	Tools.Name = "Tools"
	
	local SharpeningUpgrd = Instance.new("StringValue")
	SharpeningUpgrd.Parent = Tools
	SharpeningUpgrd.Name = "SharpeningUpgrd"
	SharpeningUpgrd.Value = "Stone"


     local tableOfData
      local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
	   tableOfData = datastore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
end)
    if success and tableOfData then -- we know that it is a returning player whom already played this game before
	 for key, value in pairs(tableOfData) do
		
		print(key)
		print(value)
		Money.Value = tableOfData["Money"]
		Rebirths.Value = tableOfData["Rebirths"]
		Sharpening.Value = tableOfData["Sharpening"]
		SharpeningUpgrd.Value = tableOfData["SharpeningUpgrd"]
		EquipKnife.Value = tableOfData["EquipKnife"]
		OwnedKnife = tableOfData["OwnedKnife"]
			
			for	i, v in ipairs(OwnedKnife:GetChildren()) do
				v.Name = tableOfData["OwnedKnifes"]
			end
		--OwnedKnife:GetChildren() = tableOfData ["OwnedKnifes"]
end
	else -- we know that this player is new or their data got throttled (cached) or whatever you call it and have lost their data
		--sets the default value for new players

		Money.Value = 0
		Rebirths.Value = 0
		Sharpening.Value = 0
		EquipKnife.Value = ""
		SharpeningUpgrd.Value = "Stone"
		
		end
	end)


game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local tableOfData = {
		
	["Money"] = player.leaderstats.Money.Value,
	["Rebirths"] = player.leaderstats.Rebirths.Value,
	["Sharpening"] = player.leaderstats.Sharpening.Value,
	["SharpeningUpgrd"] = player.Tools.SharpeningUpgrd.Value,
	["EquipKnife"] = player.EquipKnife.Value,
	["OwnedKnife"] = player.OwnedKnife,
	["OwnedKnifes"] = player.OwnedKnife:GetChildren() ,

}

local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
	datastore:SetAsync(player.UserId, tableOfData)
    end)
end)

(The console does not give errors)

I used this script before and it worked, but now for some reason it doesn’t. That’s why I had a question:
"Is it normal that the script does not save data in roblox studio?"

It’s probabaly because your referring to the table and the table usually has some sort of id or something when you print it out. You could do this for each individual value. At the SetAsync try to do this with every table in the value instead

datastore:SetAsync(tableOfData[1], tableOfData[2])

The numbers inside the brackets are referring to the order sort of variables in the table so depending how much of those you have in the table you will have to put another number after how many variables you have in there.
