As far as I know, no you would have to create one yourself

#

#

Try salvaging some of this I have:

function getPermsNames(flags) {
  const permEntries = Object.entries(Permissions.FLAGS);
  const result = [];
  for (let [ name, flag ] of permEntries) {
    if (flags & flag === 0) continue;
    result.push(name);
  }
  return result;
}

How are you defining your initial permission(s)?

#

const permissions = log.target.permissionOverwrites.cache;

        permissions.forEach((permission) => {
            console.log(permission.allow.bitfield)
            
        });```

The method you're looking for here is <Permissions>.toArray()

#

In your case, permission.allow.toArray() will give you ['SEND_MESSAGES', 'VEW_CHANNEL', ...] etc.
