missing permissions / permissions are already granted

Hey there, my bot is not able to create a channel. As the error suggests, it is missing some kind of permission, although it already has both manage roles and manage channels permissions to create the channel with permission overwrites. Is there any possible solution?

what's the full error including stack

TehPigOP•5mo ago

that's all i get

Mark•5mo ago

There's more below it because that last line is cropped It should include the API path

TehPigOP•5mo ago

the last line just shows the line of the code which is this part

      } catch (e) {
>>>        channel = await inter.guild.channels.create({

      } catch (e) {
>>>        channel = await inter.guild.channels.create({

the error stops there it has all 3 sending messages in other channels with embeds works fine

TehPigOP•5mo ago

i got the extra part

TehPigOP•5mo ago

PermissionsBitField { bitfield: 1808015873801975n } ? yes

TehPigOP•5mo ago

it creates the channel, but it does not set the permissions i take that back, it succeeds the parent seems to be the issue PermissionsBitField { bitfield: 1808015873800951n } alright, is there any way i can simplify that bitfield into permission names, for better understanding on my end?
