Can't find a way to save a table of data

I have been working on a survival game base on "Booga Booga" but i cant seem to find out how to load player data on the game. The data im trying to load is saved in the for loop that follows:

module.SaveData = function (player, DT)
	local data_saved = {}
	
	local setData = player.inventory.Inv:GetChildren()
	for i, v in pairs(setData) do
		table.insert(data_saved, {[v] = {
			value = v.Value,
			name = v.Name
		}})
	end
	Data_Store:SetAsync(player.UserId, data_saved)
end

I've done multiple things to attempt to solve this problem

1. I've tried load with http service
2. I've already attempted loading the raw table
3. and I've tried to use a global data store instead

here is my code that loads the data as of now:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	CF.PlayerInventorySetup(plr) -- not relavent
	p = plr -- not relavent
	local PD =require(game.ServerScriptService.DataHandler)
	local plrdata =PD.FetchData(plr)
	
	for i, v in pairs(plrdata) do -- this is what im having trouble with
		if not plr.inventory.Inv:FindFirstChild(v) then
			local newint = Instance.new("NumberValue")
			newint.Name = v.name -- the ouput says: string expected, got nil
			newint.Value = v.value -- 
			newint.Parent = plr.inventory.Inv
		end
	end
end)

I actually don't know wtf to do.

Before we talk about a solution, let's talk about what's happening when you save the data. Let's say for example, your inventory is a list of NumberValues like this :

• Fish (value of 3)
• Iron (value of 10)
• Grass (value of 8)

Your FetchData function expects that the saved player data is formatted like this :

{
    { value =  3, name = "Fish"  },
    { value = 10, name = "Iron"  },
    { value =  8, name = "Grass" },
}

However, the result of the loop in the SaveData function would be this :

{
    { Fish(NumberValue) = { value=3, name="Fish" }},
    { Iron(NumberValue) = { value=10, name="Iron" }},
    { Grass(NumberValue) = { value=8, name="Grass" }},
}

On every step of the loop, you are pushing a new dictionary into the data_saved table.
The FetchData function expects that dictionary to have keys for "name" and "value". But, you've pushed that data one layer deeper, so those keys don't exist where the FetchData code expects them to and it throws errors.

So to fix your issue in the SetData function, remove the outer layer of that table, and just use the raw data.

table.insert(data_saved, {
    value = v.Value,
    name = v.Name
})
