What issue do you have?

Notes created in the auto-generated Conflicts notebook on Android become unassigned from any notebook in Android and desktop clients.

Expectations

Creating notes in the Conflicts notebook should be disabled to prevent messing with an auto-generated notebook. If that isn't possible, created notes shouldn't be moved to partially inaccessible locations, and the Conflicts notebook should show on desktop when mobile conflicts exist as described below:

A note on the behaviour of conflict notebooks

I'm just writing up a Joplin behaviour that I found surprising in case it helps anyone else. I noticed some missing text in some of my notes and went investigating. Turns out there had been conflicts when syncing those pages between the mobile app and the desktop app. Now, I had expected the Conflicts notebook to show up on the desktop app (which is where I tend to organise my notes; the mobile app is usually for data entry only) and make visible that I had a conflict to resolve. But actually, …

Steps to reproduce

1. On Android, create a New Note with any title in the Conflicts notebook (... displays in the notebook dropdown, despite having no notebook with that title)
2. Finish editing to see that the note appears in the Conflicts notebook
3. Tap All Notes to see that the note appears there too
4. Wait a few minutes, then sync
5. Visit the Conflicts notebook again to see that the note has disappeared, despite it still showing in All Notes
6. On desktop, open the note through the All notes notebook to see it assigned to Conflicts, despite the Conflicts notebook not visible in the notebook list
7. Click In: Conflicts to open what seems to be a blank notebook

This comment from an open Github issue matches my support request: [Desktop] New note is created in the "Conflicts (attachments)" folder · Issue #6081 · laurent22/joplin · GitHub

It also suggests a solution similar to the following feature request:

Default notebook: saving new notes into inbox automtically

please, can we have a setting or a widget which allows us to create new entries within a predefined notebook, in most cases one we use as inbox? especially helpful on phone/android. thanx a lot

I look forward to an implemented solution to this bug like any of the above.

For now, how can I prevent the Conflicts notebook from being created on mobile? I don't use it, so I'd like to prevent this issue.
