Re-enable PromptCreateAssetAsync()

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to make exporting systems for things such as player-generated builds.

However, at one point, there was a solution. Roblox introduced PromptCreateAssetAsync in 2023 but disabled it January 2024 due to termination and moderation issues.

It’s been disabled for almost 2 years now. It feels like Roblox Staff forgot about the entire feature.
Why should it be brought back?

  • Quick and easy export systems
  • Games like RetroStudio or tools like F3X won’t need external servers and will quickly be able to export their creations
  • Games like Blockate, Wubby and Rebuild won’t need to make a serializer so that people can export their worlds, or art games
  • Easy moderation, potential Save-Load systems without DataStores or SavePlaceAsync()

While yes, games like Crosswoods exist, you could just make security tighter for user-exported models.

Please bring it back! :folded_hands: :heart:

100% agree, they really need to re-enable it

I really want this feature back for my F3X game. They said it’s “temporarily disabled”, and it’s been nearly 2 years and there still hasn’t been any update on it at all. That doesn’t seem like temporary.

I really hope they enable it again.

Yeah me too.
It is kind of strange it is the option they choose to disable when there are so many other paths avaiable.
