Result options

In DataStore resultOption is a set of flags which determine what extra data gets returned when requesting an objects metadata. The following flags are used

Flag	Description
0x1	Populate the objects tags field
0x2	Populate the objects ratings field
0x4	Populate the objects metaBinary field

Modifies flag

In DataStore modifiesFlag is a set of flags which determine what data gets updated when changing an objects metadata. The following flags are used. None of these changes update the objects updatedTime field besides flag 0x40, which updates the S3 object itself. updatedTime likely refers to only the object, then, and not the metadata.

Flag	Description
0x001	Update objects name field
0x002	Update objects access permission field
0x004	Update objects delete permission field
0x008	Update objects period field
0x010	Update objects metaBinary field
0x020	Update objects tags field. Replaced, not appended
0x040	Refresh objects expire time using the period field. If also using flag 0x8, this uses the NEW period
0x080	Update objects name field
0x100	Update objects referredCnt field. Set, not added
0x200	Update objects status field. Anything besides 0 seems to result in DataStore::NotFound on future requests

Period

DataStore objects are really just S3 objects. The period field of an object is the number of days the object is valid for before it expires and is deleted from S3. Objects can be “refreshed” to update their expire time, which also updates the objects updatedTime field. Not all games respect this value, however, and will either set their own expire time or never expire objects even if a period is set for them.
