Update on the Issue:
For anyone else experiencing this problem, it was confirmed to be a human error.
Here’s what happened:
- We’re using the Config Sync plugin to synchronize changes between local, staging, and live instances.
- The issue arose because the editor role permissions weren’t set correctly on my local environment.
- When making non-permission-related changes and exporting files with Config Sync, the incorrect permissions from my local environment were inadvertently overwriting the correct permissions on the target instances.
Lessons Learned:
- Double-check editor role permissions on local environments before syncing to avoid unintended overwrites.
- This experience highlights the importance of meticulous configuration management, especially when working with synchronization tools.
Hope this helps others!
