Saving Custom Link as a Template from a library on O365 group site
"To enable scripting on a particular site collection immediately, use the following PowerShell command:
Set-SPOsite <SiteURL> -DenyAddAndCustomizePages 0
Make sure the scripting setting in the admin portal matches what you set using PowerShell, or the site collection setting may be overridden again in the next 24 hours."
It seems like this feature is disabled in Office Groups. When I manipulate the URL to access the "Save list as template" page, I am presented with an Access denied message. Even though i am the Group owner.

When i manipulate the URL to access the List template gallery, I am unable to manually upload a new List template. Access here is also denied. Even though I've got Full Control permissions on the List Template Gallery.

On my tenant the setting "Allow users to run custom script on self-service created sites" is disabled. This could be the reason you are not allowed to use the "Save list as template" feature.

You could try to enable this setting. Go to your SharePoint Admin -> Settings -> Allow users to run custom script on self-service created sites. Wait 24 hours, and see if this helps. If not, Microsoft totally removed this feature from Office Groups.
Oh it's actually mentioned in the link i posted above. So that's probably it.
Features affected when scripting is disabled:
Save document library as template
No longer available in Library Settings.
You can still build document libraries from templates created before scripting was disabled.
Please be aware when you do enable scripting for self-created sites, it has impact on your environment.
Thanks Bastian for your response and what you say makes sense however for me on my tenant we have enabled scripting about 4 months ago.
"Allow users to run custom script on self-service created sites"
My initial thoughts was that the site I am working on was created before we enabled this, so I created another group\site to test and got the same outcome.
Is there a powershell script to directly check the scripting settings for a site?
Thanks,
Shaun

"DenyAddAndCustomizPages" this has now given me the option to save the list as a template which is great.
Whats confusing is you mention to check the admin portal to make sure this matches, I have uploaded a screenshot of the current settings in SharePoint Admin center which shows for personal sites its disabled but for self-service sites its enabled. It feels like this setting is not being applied to our self-serve sites created when groups are created.
