Yes and no. In general, you want to do things that the GUI / Middleware knows about.
Many things can be done from the command line. But, changing pool devices is not one of them. If you change the pool device list, the GUI won't know about it. Maybe a reboot would fix that problem.
What I meant was that the screen snapshot you've shown does not appear to be the proper GUI way to add a Cache / L2ARC device.

It seems there are two ways to do it through the webui. One through the main storage page which had a notice for unused disks with a manage button and another add vdevs button under manage devices in topology. Both go the same page, and both give the same error. I have tried the basic option and the manual disk selection option. Is there another way I have missed?

It does appear you have found a bug. If you are on the most current version of SCALE, you might want to "Report a Bug", at the top of the forum.
I would hesitate to add the Cache drive via the command line, because it is helpful to have it partitioned as normal. That said, if it was a Cache drive before, it may still have the proper partitioning already.

One thing I noticed is that in the webui it always says that the drive is 0 B, so I tried the wiping it from the manage disk page. That didn't help, so I threw caution to the wind and added it with the zpool command. The command I used was
Here is the status output now.
$ sudo zpool add Infosphere cache nvme0n1. That seemed to work and everything shows up in the webui. Thank you for your help.Here is the status output now.
