System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.22631-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.6.0 NVIDIA 546.17

Blender Version
Broken: version: 4.0.1, branch: blender-v4.0-release, commit date: 2023-11-16 16:40, hash: d0dd92834a08
Worked: (3.6.5)

Short description of error
I noticed that starting from Blender version 4, node groups added to the shader editor as linked from the library immediately appear with hidden node options. Every time you have to unhide node options in the menu of node group to display the paperclip(link) icon

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
To reproduce, open the shader editor, and drag any node group from the library as a linked

That's what linking is, you're doing library overrides when you click that icon. If you don't want that behavior you need to change Import Method for asset libraries in preferences. Append (Reuse Data) will just add them in your blend file regularly.

Please read more carefully. I am talking about the lack of an indicator that this is a linked object after adding, because, I repeat, the node options are now hidden by default.

Hi, want to make sure that we're on same page: is the report about linking from asset library or File > link
In case of linking from asset library, selector is disabled intentionally in 686ffaaed9

Understood. It seems complaining about this design feature will be pointless.

BTW, Dalai shared the design/reason behind hiding the selector when node group is imported from asset library: #111174 (comment)
