@mdziczkowski Are your taken steps in the order you did them?

I had a similar issue, but following the flow of the page, I:

1. Filled out the text fields
2. Selected 90 days
3. Selected access scopes
4. Clicked generate

The issue is that when you select access scopes, the validity period input resets.

If that's what happened to you, then you can just set it to 90 days after you set the access scopes.

To NPM - if that's the way it's going to be, you should move the Expiration dropdown to be the last input.
Probably also some sort of visual warning for people who still set it, then adjust the scopes.

@SunderApps I had followed the steps as I wrote and you had mistaken. There is no possibility to edit the granular tokens after their generation

[SunderApps]

@mdziczkowski I didn't mean editing after creating the token. You still have to create a new one; I'm just saying you need to select your access scopes before selecting 90 days. And if you don't, you need to go back and select 90 days again before clicking on the generate button. Because selecting access scopes resets the validity period input back to 7 days.

TL;DR - the previous steps need to be done in 1, 3, 2, 4 order:

1. Fill out the text fields
2. Select access scopes
3. Select 90 days
4. Clicked generate
