cardA = copy(self.gamedata.memberData[str(ctx.author.id)]["cardA"])
cardA["status"] = None
cardA["health"] = cardA["stats"]["Hp"]
cardA["specialp"] = cardA["stats"]["sp"]
cardA["defeated"] = False
cardA["guarding"] = False
cardB = copy(self.gamedata.memberData[str(ctx.author.id)]["cardB"])
cardB["status"] = None
cardB["health"] = cardB["stats"]["Hp"]
cardB["specialp"] = cardB["stats"]["sp"]
cardB["defeated"] = False

cardC = copy(self.gamedata.memberData[str(ctx.author.id)]["cardC"])
cardC["status"] = None
cardC["health"] = cardC["stats"]["Hp"]
cardC["specialp"] = cardC["stats"]["sp"]

cardD = copy(self.gamedata.memberData[str(ctx.author.id)]["cardD"])
cardD["status"] = None
cardD["health"] = cardD["stats"]["Hp"]
cardD["specialp"] = cardD["stats"]["sp"]

cardD["guarding"] = False
cards = {
    "cardA": cardA,
    "cardB": cardB,
    "cardC": cardC,
    "cardD": cardD
}

When I alter any of these values it alters the actual value in member data is also changed. How do I stop that? I just want to make a copy and alter the copy without changing the original. At first, I just tried assigning it to a variable and altering that variable but that still changes the actual value. Then I tried importing copy and making a copy but that also didnt change anything. Any ideas how to fix?

    Make sure you look at copy vs deepcopy https://docs.python.org/3/library/copy.html – CodeLikeBeaker Feb 28 '21 at 02:09
