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.
