Allow settings change question repeated every time I open Brave

Browser Support Desktop Support

Every time I close and reopen Brave a pop-up appears and asks the following:

“Allow settings change? Allow snap “brave” to change “default-url-scheme-handler” subproperty “webcal” to “brave_brave.desktop” ? This dialog will close automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.”

I click yes and the pop-up question goes away, but next time, after closing Brave and restarting it again, the same pop-up window appears. And it appears for each window of Brave opened.

Shouldn’t Brave save my response for future sessions? So, if I answer yes, it should remember my answer to the same question.
