12/28/2021, 5:44 PMFor now, you can think of script like of a class. All properties you define in script are member properties and not top-level ones. But const properties have the following requirement:
It must be a top-level property, or a member of an object declaration or a companion object.
So, that's the reason. Const properties may become available in scripts in the future, but only after scripts redesign.
