Option to disable "New Constituent" when adding guests

Right now it seems that every user with add/edit access to event participants is able to add new records, even if their role in the database view does not allow them to create new constituents. I would love to disable the ability to create new records and only give the option to link to an existing record or add a new named guest. It's adding so many unnecessary records. And since the creation of new records also ignores our required fields from the database settings, the records are not only unnecessary, but also incomplete and incorrect.

My apologies if this was already mentioned somewhere else.

      I came here to request similar. When linking "new" skeleton constituent or guest records for an event to their existing constituent records, if we could clear the "new" tag from them that would be helpful in our records. I have several donors who have been with us for years who are still marked "new constituent" in our system because a name or an email address changed, even though I have linked their event participation record to their existing one.
