Questions printing as 0

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello,
So I am trying to make an application center, but I’m having some problems.

Here is my configuration module script:

return {
	CenterName = 'Bakeville';
	CenterVersion = 'V0.1 BETA';
	Questions = {
		['1'] = {
			Question = 'Which position are you applying for?',
			Type = 'Answer'
		},
		['2'] = {
			'Why do you want to work for Bakeville?',
			Type = 'Answer'
		},
		['3'] = {
			'How will Bakeville benefit from you?',
			Type = 'Answer'
		},
		['4'] = {
			'What are some of your positive traits that will help you at Bakeville?',
			Type = 'Answer'
		},
		['5'] = {
			'What are some of your negative traits?',
			Type = 'Answer'
		},
		['6'] = {
			'Which of these is correct? ',
			Type = 'Multiple_Choice',
			Choices = {
				['1'] = 'hi i would like a bloxy cola a lemon juice a sandwich and a cake',
				['2'] = 'Hi, I would like a bloxy cola, a lemon juice a sandwich and a cake',
				['3'] = 'Hi, I would like a Bloxy Cola, a Lemon Juice, a sandwich and a cake.',
				['4'] = 'Yo I would like a bloxy cola, lemon juice, sandwich and cake'
			},
		}

	}
}

Here is part of my LocalScript:

local configuration = require(game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage'):WaitForChild('Configuration'))

menu.Start.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if debounce then
		return
	end
	debounce = true
	
	for _, ui in pairs(menu:GetChildren()) do
		spawn(function()
			if ui.Name ~= 'Version' then
				tweenService:Create(ui,TweenInfo.new(1),{TextTransparency = 1}):Play()
				tweenService:Create(ui,TweenInfo.new(1),{BackgroundTransparency = 1}):Play()
			end
		end)
	end
	wait(1.2)
	questionsF.Visible = true
	
	local questions = configuration.Questions
	
	print(#questions)
	
	if #questions < 1 then
		error('You must have at least 1 question!')
	end
	
	
	
	
	
end)

When I print(#Questions), it prints 0.

Why does this happen? I set up 6 questions!

The length operator doesn’t account for dictionaries.

You can change the keys into a number if the keys don’t have to be a string so it acts like an array.
