Unable to edit view
I am unable to edit a specific "all items" list view because every time I try it says "something went wrong." "All Items" is the only view that exists for this list but I am able to edit "All Items" views of other lists. I have tried both the drop-down and by going through List Settings.
At some point yesterday I saw a notification flash on my screen that said something about "now read only because site permissions had changed" but I don't know what triggered that or even if that was about this particular list. As I said, I have no problems editing views on other lists.
On List Settings under "Permissions for this LIst", when I click on "Show Users", mine is the only name listed and it shows that I only have "Limited Access." I have no idea why that would be the case as I created this group site and am the only one working on setting it up. However, I see the same thing for other lists and I am able to edit those views.
This list currently only has a small amount of test data but It took me a long time to build the list structure. If I have to delete and recreate the list, is there a way to copy the existing structure over to a new list?
I doubt it helps any but on the Technical Details link it says:

If this is group site - meaning it's associated with an O365 group, you should stay away from the site permissions. The owners group will APPEAR empty and the only thing you should see under Members is the name of the O365 group. If you are seeing individual names in either of those places, you're going to have problems.
Sounds to me like someone didn't understand how permissions work in a group enabled site and changed them - possibly removed the "group" from Members - and consequently you lost your access. I would contact the SharePoint admin and see if they can restore the group to the Members.
