Well done, #apple ! Some bright spark forgot to whitelist ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Project Templates, and now I am unable to save any changes to my #LogicPro templates. I've been com.apple.macl'ed.

M4 #Macbook pro, Sequoia 15.3.2.

com.apple.macl summary:

Automatic Addition: macOS automatically adds e.g. when the Open dialog is used

Undeletable Nature: Attempts to remove the attribute typically result in it being immediately restored by the system's sandbox mechanism
