Azure Functions App is Read Only after publishing

Question

I have several Azure Functions Apps (c#, javascript and python) and after some time they were all randomly set to Read Only mode. The strange thing is that only one of these 3 function apps were updated before this happened. I know that this is not necessarily a problem, but I want to be able to make edits from the portal.

I can't open App Service Editor

I can't set the app to Read/Write from Function App Settings -> Function app edit mode I also tried using "func azure functionapp publish myAzFuncAppName --nozip", but with the same result

But for the modification of the declarative part and the configuration part of the function, this is possible, the specific steps are as follows:

Declarative part:

Then click Debug Console > cmd:

Go to site\wwwroot[yourfunctionname], and there will be a function.json.

Click the 'pen' to edit and don't forget to save.

Configuration part:
