Support for Instance.new() in table values

[danaetroupe]

Luau-lsp currently does not update type based on instance.new type. Type is given in the string. When used in a new variable it works, but not when updating a table value.

[danaetroupe]

I think in general when values are added to a table key, the program does not take that into consideration.

Can you show the error you are experiencing, and create a minimal example that I can test with?

But, this is looking like it might be a Luau issue. Do you also experience this in Roblox Studio? If so, I would recommend you report it to the Luau team directly

Checked in Roblox Studio, and am getting a TypeError there as well. In Studio it appears as a warning, however, whereas in Luau LSP it appears as an error. Will raise the issue with the Luau team, thanks for your help.

type TestObj = {
	model : Model?
}

local object : TestObj = {
	model = nil
}

object.model = Instance.new("Model")
object.model.Parent = workspace

Included the code if you're interested in taking a look.
