Attempt to call a string value error for surfacegui text

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Recently tried implementing attributes via boolean values into the config folders of my tycoon buttons so that I could change what it said players were buying if needed (the attribute is supposed to change the overhead surface gui text) but for whatever reason this specific line refuses to work:

Tried checking if I made any typos that could’ve posed the problem but found nothing and I’m almost certain the heirarchy of things is correct. For context:

local config = script.Parent.Parent.Configuration
local realprice =  script.Parent.RealPrice
local customname = config.CustomUIText:GetAttribute("CustomText")
local buytargetname = config.ObjectName.Value

if config.CustomUIText.Value == false then
		print(script.Parent.Parent.Name.." has custom text disabled")
		text1.Text = ("Buy "..buytargetname.." for "..realprice.Value)
		text2.Text = ("Buy "..buytargetname.." for "..realprice.Value)
	else
		text1.Text(customname.." for "..realprice.Value) -- error
		text2.Text(customname.." for "..realprice.Value)
	end
end

This code is all loaded as part of a module function into “Button Script”. If anyone could help solve this I would appreciate it.

Shouldnt there be a = sign here?

text1.Text = (customname.." for "..realprice.Value)
