[Course Settings] Restrict users add themselves into a crosslisted course

Statement: Some lecturers use crosslisting for A and B classes.  The problem is that the crosslisting function becomes broken when lecturers add themselves into a crosslisted course. As a result students and the section will be brought back to the original course where there are no learning materials and submissions lost. This is a major hit as we are unable to bring students submission back after a long time. Canvas can only retrieve submissions which are lost within one month. 

Suggestion: May I suggest Canvas to develop a function that if a course has been crosslisted then no one is allowed to self enrol to avoid braking the crosslisting function. Equally, when a course has ended no one can add themselves, or Admin will get a notification if someone add themselves into the crosslisted course so we can re-crosslist the courses and fix the problem straight away. Any other suggestions from the community are welcome.
