Unable to Assign Value Name. String expected, got Nil

[Ty_Harukii]

Heyo, so I know the error is self explanatory, but… it’s not. I’m running into this issue after sending data via MessagingService. I have printed the data out literally right before assigning it, so I know the value isn’t nil. I know it’s a string and I know that it has data in it. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Here’s my code:

local function updateCrews(data)
	local folder = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Crews")

	for _, crew in data.crews do
		if #folder:GetChildren() < 1 then
            -- printed the data here
			print(crew.name)
			crewFolder = Instance.new("Folder")

            -- assigned the data here, this is the problem child
			crewFolder.Name = crew.name
			
			for _, member in crew.members do
				-- Add Local Player to Crew
				playerId = Instance.new("IntValue")
				playerId.Name = member.playerName
				playerId.Value = member.userId
				playerId.Parent = crewFolder
			end


			crewFolder.Parent = folder
		end

You printed crew.name but not member.playerName. Could that be nil?

Edit: I stand corrected. Someway, somehow, member.playerName is the nil value. That makes sense considering the other option didn’t make sense, lol.
