How to set mark_variant via script? | Bedrock Add-Ons | Page 1

Saw 1 previously asked question, but didn't find answer for me.
(The only thing I understood is that you can't set variant via script).
Trying like this:

entity.getComponent('minecraft:mark_variant').value = 1

but here is readonly value. Also trying like this:

entity.setProperty('minecraft:mark_variant', 1)

Error: property 'minecraft:mark_variant' not found.

Both methods don't work.

Help me please, guys.

Create your own property on the entity

#

And use set property with it

Entity Properties

Entity properties allow data to be stored on entities without needing the use of components or attributes in the server-side of the entity, similar to block states.

@shell zodiac yep, but i can't pass this to molang. I need check my variable in molang and do my logic

#

set client sync for the property to true

#

That's a requirement so the client reads it
