How do I authorize app for endpoint file_properties/templates/list_for_team?
Looking at https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#file_properties-templates-list_for_team
it says the API requires the files.team_metadata.write.
I can't find this exact entry in the apps permissions settings page. So I just ticked everything. But it still returns app not authorized.
request:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/file_properties/templates/list_for_team \ --header "Authorization: Bearer xxxxx
response:
Error in call to API function "file_properties/templates/list_for_team": Your app is not authorized to use this endpoint.

The 'files.team_metadata.write' scope is now available. You can enable it for your app on the Permissions tab on the app's page on the App Console. (Note that it is not available to apps using the "app folder" access type though, as those can't use any team scopes.)
