rbuzeta,
It sounds like you got some bad information from whomever you talked to at Microsoft. The problem you report was recently reported and is apparently do to an artifact of a recent update. Please see this post:

Good news!
I just checked that the latest update to Project Professional, version: Microsoft® Project® Online Desktop Client MSO (Version 2312 Build 16.0.17126.20078) 64-bit, fixes and restores the functionality of replacing selected task values, through Task Information dialog box (Task Information).
In addition to the automatic update, I remind you that you can try the update in bar menu > File > Account > Update Options > Update Now

I updated to this build: Microsoft® Project® Online Desktop Client MSO (Version 2403 Build 16.0.17425.20176) 64-bit. Bulk edit using the Task Information dialog box when multiple tasks are selected is not working for me. I was able to add the column "Type" to the view. Then I used the handle to copy "Fixed Duration" to the tasks below. A decent work around, but too bad I can't change multiple tasks using that dialog box. I used to be able to do this in previous desktop versions.

  Christopher Sneed,
  Sorry but I don't know what to say. It works for me and I have the same update version. You might try a repair of Project but I'm not sure how that works with a subscription version of Project.
