Making a new value for datastore and updating in all servers?

If I create a new value for players to have in a datastore it will be in old servers will I need to shutdown all servers in case they go to an old server from my knowledge their new data value will be fine as long as long as they a new server.

What do you mean old servers, and why do you need shut down all your servers?

So say I update my game there’s a new version and I’m wanting to create a new value so I add a new piece of data that can be saved would it be okay to keep the old servers running?

Just to clarify, you are changing the key for the dataStore while the server is live, and you want the player’s in the old server to be able to save their data with the new dataStore key?
or, you are creating a new value of some sorts (bool, string, number), and you are asking if it is okay to keep the old servers running while having these new values on new servers?

Yes, your old servers should ignore this new piece of data if you programmed the datastore script well.

Yes this “or, you are creating a new value of some sorts (bool, string, number), and you are asking if it is okay to keep the old servers running while having these new values on new servers?”

I am asking for this it would be fine right?

Live Data Store should be updated on all servers right? Or else my leaderboard wouldn’t work.

If you aren’t removing any of the other data parts it should be fine.
