Adding scope to dropbox app not getting approved

Hi,

I'm trying to add a couple of scopes e.g. sharing.write to my dropbox app but whenever I make changes it gets put in review since it's a production app and then doesn't get approved so the scopes don't get updated. I really need these permission updates otherwise my integration won't work. Would appreciate some advice on this thanks.

Hi @shirley_kabir,

Did you reauthorize/relink your application after scopes change? 🧐 I suppose - No. If so, it's normal what you're observing. When a token is issued, it assigns actual scopes at that moment and that doesn't change anymore (i.e. followup changes you have made cannot affect already issued token, both access and refresh). Scope change is not retroactive! You'll need to reauthorize/relink your app if not done yet (i.e. new token issuing).

Hope this helps.

If you are submitting a scope change request for a production app, make sure you only request the minimum necessary additional scopes, and clearly explain why you need each additional scope that you're requesting.

If your request is not approved, you'll receive an email with information indicating why. Make sure you read the explanation in that email. If you did not receive the email, please check your spam folder. If you have any questions about your scope change request, you can open an API ticket here.
