How to disable PS 2024 creates new layers on top of smart obj when brush on it

Yes, Kevin, I know, I asked for clarification about the lack of communication and possibility for users to change that behavior.

@PECourtejoie this was a purposeful choice by the team. The more upvotes this gets, hopefully a change will come in a future release.

I checked as well, no info at all. Asked for input.

I'd have to check at home. In the beta version, is it possible to change it within the advanced controls section of preferences?

I checked, and the optional extensions page does not list it either: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/enable-optional-extensions-photoshop-cc.html

@Raphael28493751tgq0 thats a terrible suggestion.

Customer Care has nothing to do with software development or bug fixes/reporting. They will do nothing but redirect you back to the correct place which is here.

A better suggestion is to upvote this post. The more votes an idea/bug gets the more priority it gets with the team who does monitor this forum.

Thank you for this. It's been driving us crazy.

If I may suggest: go here: https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and click on the little speech bubble in the lower right hand corner of the screen. Then in the message field type: photoshop. Followed by some random text. Next option is select: "latest version of photoshop". When the assistant asks "did that help", click "no". Finally click: Chat with an agent. And report this to the agent.

Done... this "auto new layer" idea is the worst 

The behavior is inconsistent as well - ex. if you try to paint on a generative fill layer, it prompts you with the traditional "smart object layer" warning first.

@SpS_PS not disagreeing at all. Upvote this merged post and get some traction going with users.
