textLabel not updating

        end
    end
end
    

updatingInventoryEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(addTitle)

My countLabel is supposed to update to the value of ownedTitles[effect], but it stays at ‘1x’ even though ownedTitles[effect]'s value is changing

    else
        ownedTitles[effect] = 1
        print(effect .. " is now owned")

        local cloneTitle = auraTitles:WaitForChild(effect):Clone()
        cloneTitle.Parent = scrollingFrame.Frame
        cloneTitle.Visible = true
        cloneTitle.Active = true
        -- this condition
        local countLabel = cloneTitle:FindFirstChild("countLabel")
        if countLabel then
            countLabel.Text = ownedTitles[effect].. "x"
            print("count label cahnged")
        end
    end

Here, you tell the program to update countLabel.Text only if ownedTitles[effect] does not exist. Therefore, you should not nest the condition inside the first condition, but rather put it outside, right after the else end statement.
