Grouped table top level default entity creation and usability issue

When using a grouped top level table the creation of new entity defaults to the grouped property. (bottom left) I tried different orders/workarounds, and hiding empty group entities and there seems to be no way of controlling desired behaviour.

Creating the desired entity type is only possible at the top right corner. Which is probably not the most intuitive behaviour for new fibery users. Also accidentally creating new “PropVsFixed” entry leads to further confusion. As it shouldn’t even be possible when it comes to specifically disabled “Allow anyone to add new options” in Advanced Field Proprties of said Single-Select Field in first place.

→ It would be great to enable admin control to lock or IF entities can be created by users to fully enable an otherwise excellent capability/functionality of this feature.

→ I haven’t pondered much but if there are no otherwise practical/needed use-cases disabling entity creation for “hidden empty groups” and/or “disabled user-added advanced option”.

EDIT: nvm. should have checked editor/user view. at least some of the issue is alleviated. however bottom/default entity-creation would still be nice to have from usability/newcomer perspective or maybe in general. leaving the post for reference.
