Thanks, so taking this

Thanks, so taking this further, in the future if I want to add a VLAN to the 1st port
channel I would have to modify the port channel and the member interfaces?

As Jon said, Setting the

As Jon said, Setting the attributes and changes on the port channel interface
would minimize the miscongurations. I always follow it as a best practice
rather than using "interface range" to select the members.

If you do the cong manually on members there is a higher chance of port-

channel going in to suspended mode due to inconsistency

 changes made on the port channel should automatically propagate down to the
members ,same applies to 3850s.

But I couldn't replicate your second port-channel cong on my lab 3850 it

seems like you have manually deleted "switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,5" from
the port-channel members

Good point about the missing

Good point about the missing lines from the physical ports, I completely
overlooked that:)

They should be there even if you just add the command to the port channel.

 After my initial post I created a port channel on the 3850, I did not add or
remove the VLANS on the channel members and this is the result which
looks the same as the original port-channel2 in my initial post

I gave it another go just 

I gave it another go and just realized that it is something simple but didn't
notice it as i always practice the other way..

It seems that you have created the logical interface (Port Channel3) rst
and then go into the Gig interfaces and add them to the members list.I
had the same results as you when I do it that way. however if you go back
to your logical interface and make a change you'll notice that updated
cong will be propagated in to the members automatically.

You could try just simply adding "switchport trunk allowed vlan add 7" on
to your Po3 as an example.

 I usually select the members and add them to the group.This way switch
creates the logical interface automatically for me and I go back and make
changes on the port channel.

Like this
SW01(cong)#interface range gigabitEthernet 5/0/45-46
SW01(cong-if-range)#channel-group 3 mode on
Creating a port-channel interface Port-channel 3

SW01(cong-if-range)#interface po3
SW01(cong-if)#description test1
SW01(cong-if)#switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,5
SW01(cong-if)#switchport mode trunk

SW01(cong-if)#do show run in gi5/0/45

!
interface GigabitEthernet5/0/45
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,5
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 3 mode on
end

SW01(cong-if)#do show run in po3

!
interface Port-channel3
description test1
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,5
switchport mode trunk
end

Here is the 3850 Etherchannel guide .

Look for the topic "Channel Groups and Port-Channel Interfaces"

I have tried to create a Port

I have tried to create a Port Channel in the way you describe and the
output is still the same as in my original post.

Interestingly, I found some documentation from when the 3850's were

originally commissioned and found these notes:

! To restrict VLANs, add the following command below.

! Add the command to the interfaces in the following order:
! 1st interface, Port-Channel, 2nd interface.
switchport trunk allowed vlan <list of allowed vlans>
!

This seems to suggest that I do need to congure both port channel and

individual channel members.......

No you wouldn't.
No you wouldn't.

As preranda78 says when you add the command to the port channel this
should then add the command to the individual member links.

So if you wanted to add a vlan you just add it to the port channel and it will
automatically be added to the individual links.

Why your second entry is missing those lines on the physical links is not clear.
