Problem
When attempting to script MaterialService.Use2022Materials, the following error occurs: The current thread cannot write 'Use2022Materials' (lacking capability RobloxScript) even through the documentation states that you can. This issue even occurs on the command line when manually typed in. Furthermore, even though the documentation says read parallel, there is no read access. Attempting to even read the property returns the same error.
At this point I’m not sure if it’s a documentation issue or if it’s an engine issue.
In a system that uses multiple maps with different configurations, it is essential to be able to specify which set of materials that should be used when rendering the map in the workspace so the map environment has the intended look.

Since this also happens on the command line, open Roblox Studio and enter the following commands on the command line:
game.MaterialService.Use2022Materials = true
print(game.MaterialService.Use2022Materials)
