how to make so when i overwrite __newindex function it still saves the value

[zenith badge]

local DataManager = {}

local Metatable = {
    __index = DataManager,
    __newindex = function(Table, Key, Value)
        if DataManager[Key] ~= Value then
            print("changed")
        end
    end
}

DataManager.Profiles = setmetatable({},Metatable)

return DataManager```

@zenith badge You want to use rawset

It takes the table, key, and value

so in your case it would be:

local DataManager = {}

local Metatable = {
    __index = DataManager,
    __newindex = function(Table, Key, Value)
        rawset(Table, Key, Value) --This sets the value!

        if DataManager[Key] ~= Value then
            print("changed")
        end
    end
}

DataManager.Profiles = setmetatable({},Metatable)

return DataManager
