Azure SWA can't enable configuration changes in the configuration blade

I figured out my problem.

When you first run the swa cli deploy it will take the config file it finds and copy it to the source directory. It does not update or replace this in subsequent deploys. You must delete the file each time you deploy if your distribution directory is not removed between builds and deployment.

Issue:

-You made changes to the staticwebapp.config.json for my Azure Static Web App (SWA), but they aren’t applying when you deploy via the SWA CLI.

-In the Azure portal, you can’t enable the “Enable configuration file changes” checkbox as the “Save” button remains greyed out and the checkbox doesn’t stay checked. You want to know how to ensure these changes are propagated

Solution:

-"When you first run the SWA CLI deploy it will take the config file it finds and copy it to the source directory. It does not update or replace this in subsequent deploys. You must delete the file each time you deploy if your distribution directory is not removed between builds and deployment."
