    Hi There,

    Thanks for posting your question. I'm not 100% sure I understand the question, so please provide more details if I am jumping to the wrong conclusions!

    If you are asking how to define default keys and values in a new inventory item's Instance Data, you can type them into the Custom Data panel as you create the inventoty item definition. You can also edit them, save and publish your changes at a later date.

    At runtime, you can acess the instance data for individual instances of items in a player's inventory from the the Economy package or through Cloud Code

    e.g.
    from Economy
    Code (CSharp):
    1. Dictionary<string, object> instanceData = new Dictionary<string, object>
    2. {
    3.     { "rarity", "purple" }
    4. };
    5.  
    6. PlayerInventory.AddInventoryItemOptions options = new PlayerInventory.AddInventoryItemOptions
    7. {
    8.     PlayersInventoryItemId = "customID",
    9.     InstanceData = instanceData
    10. };
    11.  
    12. PlayersInventoryItem createdInventoryItem = await Economy.PlayerInventory.AddInventoryItemAsync("SWORD", options);
    from Cloud Code
    Code (CSharp):
    1.   const createdItem = await inventory.addInventoryItem(projectId, playerId,
    2.     { inventoryItemId:"TICKET",
    3.       instanceData: { "itemValue":itemValue,
    4.                       "itemExpiresAt":itemExpiresAt }
    5.     });
    I hope that helps, but please let me know if I've missed the point.

    Hello. Yes, lets say i add a key and a value to the custom data on the dashboard.
    When i Add an item, i want this :

    Code (CSharp):
    1. Dictionary<string, object> instanceData = new Dictionary<string, object>
    2. {
    3.     { "rarity", "purple" }
    4. };
    To get the values i added to the custom Data on the dashboard.
    So when i Add the item, it automatically has in its dictionary the 'expires at' value at your example.
