When I try to save Billing Agreements in subOptions of Accept Payments in Sandbox App Settings the modification does not take place.
I check Billing Agreements and hit the button Save but nothing gets saved.
And when trying to create a Billing Plan I get the error "REQUIRED_SCOPE_MISSING" I guess is an error thrown because I do not have the option activated?
Am I doing something wrong?

That error message indicates that your used SB account does not have access to said feature.
You can request that via a ticket to the MTS, in it please specify the used sandbox facilitator account and what features you require.
Please make sure you can also gain such a feature on the live account not that you spend time developing a feature you are not entitled too. The customer support would be able to answer this request for the live environment.

Our thanks for those send tickets and provision of the accounts.
From what we have seen, some accounts cannot add some of the basic features (Dev Portal | My REST App > App feature options).
For example: Future Payments and Billing Agreements.
Our devs have been able to confirm the problem and a fix is in the making.
We will update this forum post as soon as the fix has been applied and confirmed.

Any updates on this yet, or an ETA? It's rather annoying - I tried to enable Billing Agreements and now even Future Payments has been turned off.
