Ugly UI just dropped on us

As @Lalithesh correctly pointed out, you can turn this off under Settings > System > General Configuration > Edit settings > Simple create as default > Off.

It's a bit buried, down in the Options section:

I wanted to add that the thread announcing this feature (and open to comments) is here:

• Introducing the new, streamlined Create experience in Jira 

I encourage you to read through the 3 pages of comments, as someone may have already made the same comment (although you're free to validate and confirm). You can also see that Atlassian has responded to some feedback (originally they changed Summary to Title, but have rolled that change back.)

Does the new UI really doesn't support a main text editor toolbar when creating a new task any more? Do I really need to store and edit afterwards?

hey
may be worth taking a look at Release Tracks in some scenarios

best regards

We had it pushed and enabled as well, without further notification or consent,
Would be nice if Atlassian changed a few things about it.

Still, nice to be able to disable it.
Should be an opt-in rather than opt-out though.

Hi Lalithesh, thanks for the clarification. We’re seeing the same issue, but the Beta features section is empty for us as well. Is there another setting or admin-level option to disable the Modern work item when that option isn’t available?

Hi @Anna Gromov 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If you're referring to the new Modern work item, you can disable it under Settings > System > Beta features > Modern work item

Note: You must have Site/ Org admin access to make these changes.

Cheers!
