Testing Display Name Feature in Studio

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

What do I want to accomplish:
I wanted to test display names in Roblox Studio to get a better understanding. The script I wanted to do was to change my display name so I can see how it works.

My Issue:
I am getting an error saying I lack permission, Here is a screenshot

here is the code I was using

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.DisplayName = "Testname"
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(avatar)
		avatar.Humanoid.DisplayName = "Testname"
	end)
end)

If I am unable to change the Display name with a script I am ok with that, I just want to know if I am doing something wrong if I am. Thank you in advance

it is not finished yet, if you print your own display name it’ll print your nickname, when it releases you can test the thing that you’re trying to do

I know this already has a solution, but I dont think you can set the DisplayNames with a script anyway.
(but it would be amazing if you could, roleplay name GUIs would be a lot cooler)

Yes, and it could also make a script to prevent people from having the same name and it labels them as Joe1 and Joe2. I hope this becomes an available scripting option but if they are worried for security there could be limits as well.
