New Action Bar?
Mike Charbonneau
I've contacted Support to ask if we could change the multi-subtasks select bar back to the previous version. The one without text next to the icons. I'm told not at this time and to bring it up here, so if you agree, please upvote this.
This new version is not helpful and simply introduces yet another click to access something under the MORE dropdown such as dates,... I don't understand why they had to add text next to each icon. If I'm not mistaken, the last version would tell you what each icon represented if you hovered over it. Once you learn what it is, you don't need a text label to remind you. I personally access this dozens of times a day, so this introduces dozens of extra clicks; the opposite of efficient.

And now the date field is hidden under 'more' which makes no sense as one would think that it's quite common to bulk set start/due dates.

I agree...and now, it has been dropped to bottom of the screen, which is not comfortable at all. If they want people to have an option, they should provide it, not force the layout.

Mike Shick there's another thread with multiple merged threads about the new position https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/please-revert-the-bulk-action-bar-location-to-the-top

I agree this new bar is less efficient than the old one and it's been made worse by moving the bar to the bottom as now the fly out messages cover the bar, the vertical space is reduced (yet again), it's less convenient due to it's increased distance from the select all box, and it doesn't work properly with dropdown menus.
There are multiple threads on this, I've put several in the comments on this thread https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/feedback-on-latest-bulk-edit-toolbar-changes

I particularly don't like having Assignee and Priority hidden under More for an extra click.
