As to your question if you prevent something being contributed on only one
of the parameter classes: In the metamodel there's no way to specify that
but you could try to hide the contribution in the layout.json file.
something like
"actions":{
"yourAction": {
"hidden":{}
}
}
or
"actions":{
"yourAction": {
"hidden":{"where":"ALWAYS" }
}
}
Can you check if this works?
