Can not create input number, text, counter or timer

Configuration
1

As you can see on the screenshot i am not able to add new input of types number, text, counter or timer via the UI anymore:

This is strange as i am having a few input helpers of these types already. These helpers are marked read only in the UI.

I checked the permissions on the filesystem in the .storage folder but these look okay (i am using HA via docker):

-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root      366 Sep 21 09:28 image
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root     1115 Nov 12 20:58 input_boolean
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root      786 Nov 14 14:00 input_datetime
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root       98 Nov 17 08:00 input_number
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root       88 Mai 28 09:53 input_select
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root    80135 Nov 16 15:15 lovelace

Anyone got an idea what caused this?

If you have created any of those entity types manually thru yaml then I think that you can’t create them via the UI any longer.

Is there a way to revert this functionality?
Additionally to the fact that I can not edit the helpers all the input_number services are gone:

If you remove any manually created helpers (restart for good measure) and re-create them thru the UI then everything should become UI editable again.

Those services should be there if you add helpers either thru the UI or manually so I don’t think that is related to this or if it is then there is something further going on than just adding helpers manually.

Have you ever changed from the “default_config:” in your configuration.yaml?

Indeed, “default_config:” was somehow commented out. After i enabled it again i can add and modify helpers.
Thank you @finity for your help.
