[4.x]: Customize sources lacks setting for section type
What happened?
Description
Due to the new way of creating globals, categories etc it would be great to see an source option for section type (Single, Structure, Channel). When entrifying a global set it becomes a single section. WIthin the Entries > singles there is now a cluttered overview with entries lacking urls (because they don't have them) and the actual single pages.
When adding a new custom source there is no option to only view single sections. This would resolve this issue. But maybe it's also an idea to add the filter to the singles source, display only when URL is set.
Steps to reproduce
- Add a single section (eg. contact)
- Add a single section for global use (no URL set)
Expected behavior
The single source within the Entries tab to filter out the globals for clarity in the overview.
Actual behavior
Everything is presented within the Single source. Custom sources are possible but with big sites containing a lot of sections, you need to manually add them to the source filter.

Agree this is awkward right now. We’re working to make it better in Craft 5!
+1 on this. Having the same exact issue. Is there a chance this feature is being added to Craft 4 in the near future or will this be a Craft 5 exclusive? @brandonkelly
