## Description

* * *

Previously, the add asset functionality in the subassets view only allowed to create child assets within existing hierarchies. With this change, users can now create root-level assets as well as complete asset hierarchies based on predefined asset models. This enhancement provides greater flexibility creating asset hierarchies through the UI.
