Can't unsync permissions of a text channel with the category.

Hi, im trying to set up a a category and bunch of channels with my bot (for a game to be played in them). There needs to be a category only players should be able to see, a general chat in that category for those players and a private channel for each player.

I take player mentions as an input, set up a category with view_channel= False for everyone and view_channel= True for these mentioned players. This works without any problem.

Then I create private channels for each player with view_channel= False for everyone and view_channel= True for the selected player but I can't unsync the channels' permissions with category permissions so the private channels just work like the general chat channel in that category should.

Here is the code im trying:

category = await message.guild.create_category_channel("category")
await category.set_permissions(message.guild.default_role, view_channel=False)          

for playerid in <player list>: 
    player = message.guild.get_member(playerid)             
    await category.set_permissions(player, view_channel=True)               

    playerchannel = await message.guild.create_text_channel("🏡", category=category, sync_permissions=False)
    await playerchannel.set_permissions(message.guild.default_role, view_channel=False)
    await playerchannel.set_permissions(oyuncu, view_channel=True)

Thanks!

I'm not sure what exactly is going on in here or how the issue is manifesting. However, you shouldn't have to specify sync_permissions=False and you can also do this with fewer API calls. For example, when creating a category channel you can create it with the permissions already specified:

default_role = message.guild.default_role
category_overwrites = {
    message.guild.get_member(player_id): discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=True)
    for player_id in player_list
}
category_overwrites[default_role] = discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=False)
category = await message.guild.create_category_channel("name", overwrites=category_overwrites)

Aside from that, you can also do the same for the text channel creation, but I'll leave that as an exercise for you.

Note that "syncing" permissions is mostly a visual client-side indicator of whether the channel overwrites are the same as the category overwrites. From what I'm seeing in this code the permissions are different, so either this is a client bug or there's something else I'm missing from this short snippet of code.

Thanks a lot for your time!

I also tried a similar (I guess) thing with overwrites:

for userid in <useridslist>: 
        user = message.guild.get_member(userid)            

        overwrites = {
            message.guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=False),
            user: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True),
            message.guild.me: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True)
        }             

        userchannel = await message.guild.create_text_channel("🏡"+user.name, category=<category> sync_permissions=False, overwrites=overwrites) 

This one also acts weird, it works completely well except for the first player mentioned (first item in the player ids list). That player's channel gets synced with category again while other channels work correctly.
