Permission changes aren't persisted in my App.
I created an App in Dropbox for API access, I am using a generated access token. When I set permissions in the app, those changes don't persist.
I did figure out my issue.
There is a Submit button that shows up at the bottom of the page, over the footer. Each tab in the App Console, the UI is different for saving your changes and that's a horrible UX...

Dropbox EngineerHi pMatt1988,
I'm happy to hear that you were able to change the scopes for your API app. We appreciate your feedback on this forum, and I have raised it with our development team to help improve the user experience in the App Console.
Please note that adding a scope to your app via the App Console does not retroactively grant that scope to existing access or refresh tokens. Therefore, to make API calls that require the new scopes, you’ll need to re-authorize the app to obtain a new access token (and refresh token, if applicable) with the updated scopes.
