SF will only allow me to change field level permissions through Schema Builder. Then if I edit the field at all, I have to go back into Scheme Builder and redo the permissions. It wasn't this way yesterday. How do I troubleshoot?

Hello @Alec Weinberg
If field-level permissions are restricted to Schema Builder and reset after field edits, troubleshoot as follows:
In Setup > User Management Settings, enable 'Field-Level Security for permission Sets During Field Creation'.
Please make sure your profile has 'Manage Profiles and Permission Sets' and 'Customize Application' permissions.
Check Object Manager>[Object] > Filed and Relationship > [Field] View Filed Accessibility for permission sync issues.
Verify if permission persists in Schema Builder after saving: reverting suggests caching/metadata issues.
Review the Setup Audit Trail for recent changes affecting permissions.
Clear browser cache or test in a sandbox to isolate the issue.
Use Permission Sets (Setup > Permission Sets >[Permission Set] > Object Settings >Edit Field Permission) to bypass Schema Builder.
