Google cloud platform: Add new interface to existing instance

On the edit page of an instance, the "Add Item" button under network interfaces is in the disabled state. Since the button is visible, I guess this operation should be allowed in some way. Is it correct? How can I add a new interface to an existing instance?

There is no way to add additional network interfaces after the instance has been created. This can only be done during instance creation, please take a look at the requirements for assigning multiple network interfaces
