Optional Spell Upcasting

Can there be a toggle that disables the upcasting of a certain spell on your spell list?
For instance, my druid currently has Ice Knife, but has never cast it above 1st level. It continues to clutter the spell list and the bright blue text makes it hard to not immediately be drawn to it.

Other examples of spells that one might not want to upcast (to show it's not completely niche):
Ensnaring Strike
Witch Bolt
Searing Smite
Absorb Elements

  I'm not sure about turning it off for specific spells as that could quickly become complicated but it would be nice if it was an option to just show spells at their original level and not at higher levels. I can see how that can be useful and good for some people but it can make the spell list look extremely cluttered with them all. Even with them not showing on the list, you can still cast them at higher levels by clicking on the spell. It would be nice if there was an option for you to decide if you want them all to visible at higher levels or not.

  It'd be a nice option to treat it like a multiclass spellcaster/warlock where you get a popup option to use a spell slot or pact slot.  If we could do the same sort of thing with spell level for applicable spells that can be cast above the initial level.

  there are now three separate issues open addressing this concern:
  
  https://dndbeyond.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360033278654-The-option-to-hide-the-higher-level-versions-of-lower-level-spells
  
  https://dndbeyond.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360033422253-Filter-for-not-showing-upcast-spells-in-the-spells-list
  
  https://dndbeyond.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360024330753-Optional-Spell-Upcasting
  
  can these be consolidated and/or at least have their up-votes tallied?
