When saving and loading a file that contains LocalizationTable Instances, all keys will not preserve their Example field. If you inspect a produced file, the field is serialized, so Studio is simply not deserializing it correctly. This results in (relatively minor) data loss during saves and loads, which is undesirable.
I have no idea when this began, but I noticed it in version 0.618.0.6180546.
To reproduce this issue:
- Create a
LocalizationTableand set a key with theExamplefield set - Save the table to a file
- Load the file into Studio again
- Observe that the
Examplefield is now empty
Due to the nature of this bug, I cannot provide an example file but here is a quick script to make a LocalizationTable that you can save, for convenience:
local localizationTable = Instance.new("LocalizationTable")
localizationTable:SetEntries({{
Key = "example key",
Source = "example source",
Context = "example context",
Example = "example... example",
Values = {
["en"] = "english",
["fr"] = "french",
}
}})
localizationTable.Parent = workspace
Expected behavior
My expectation would be that the data of LocalizationTables is preserved perfectly when saving them to a file.
