Describe the bug

When I navigated to Shopify partners panel, selected my app, then under Build --> API Access tab, I clicked "Allow network access" button within the "Allow network access in checkout and account UI extensions" section, an error occured:

There seems to be a problem with the following:
Could not grant checkout ui extension scope 'read_checkout_external_data'

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

https://shopify.dev/docs/api/checkout-ui-extensions/2023-10/configuration#network-access

I followed the above documentation, the exact steps:

1. Go to your Partner Dashboard.
2. Click the name of the app that you want to change.
3. Click API access.
4. Under Allow network access in checkout UI extensions, click Allow network access

Expected behavior

"Your request is automatically approved and your app is immediately granted the approval scope that's required for your checkout UI extension to make external network calls."

In that case, the ui-extension plugin can open external links or call external APIs, which is crucial for my project.

I have tried

1. Modifying shopify.app.yoml to include the scopes = "read_checkout_external_data", that scope does not exist for shopify.app.yoml apparently.
2. Searched online and it seems like nobody else has experienced this error either.
3. Searched for this error within documentation, and it does not seem documented.
4. Created another shopify app and still running into the same error.
