I wager there is, whether via a hook in that area, or even just by CSS in the admin, but neither or things that our plugin has a part in.
Hi Michael I’m still trying to resolve this. This seems to be the best solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3235257/wordpress-disable-add-new-on-custom-post-type which I assume has to go somewhere in the custom post declaration that the plugin creates. If I go to the plugin and change the Add New label text to something else – that text in shows up in the button – I assume it is passed to an array somewhere. Therefore the capability of that button (i.e. to add another post) must be defined within the plugin – all I want to do is disable it. Any ideas most welcome.

The map_meta_cap value should already be defaulting to true, via https://github.com/WebDevStudios/custom-post-type-ui/blob/1.3.3/custom-post-type-ui.php#L239-L248
However, the capability type parts aren’t part of the plugin at the moment, as we’re not 100% matched for all the available options/parameters.
That said, for those who need it, we do have this hook that passes the array holding all the register_post_type arguments, at https://github.com/WebDevStudios/custom-post-type-ui/blob/1.3.3/custom-post-type-ui.php#L380-L390
It’s filtered right before the actual registration. Hopefully this helps you a bit more.
