I'd like to propose adding a better UI for permissions to Backdrop core. I envisage it working/looking something like the following D7 modules: - Filter permissions - https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/5796 - Permission Select - Fast Permissions Administration - Permissions Grid
Also, I'd like to have the ability for modules to specify group headings within their permissions. This screenshot shows how the Node permissions might look with this change:

If anyone has other ideas for improving the permissions UI, post them here.

@yorkshirepudding, In the end I fixed it by deleting the config/active folder contents, copying the config/staging/ files into config/active, importing the database again and clearing the caches...

Hi Francis. Yes, what config do you have in staging for it? You might have configs like: field.field.field_video_embed field.instance.node.page....
