What is going on with LISTS?
Update from Microsoft support:
The core functionality of SharePoint Lists has been updated to resemble Microsoft Lists. It’s important to note that rolling back the core functionality of SharePoint Lists to a previous state cannot be possible.
Microsoft has removed Wiki which we relied upon HEAVILY for organization instructions.
Microsoft is changing Power Automate which I work in EVERY DAY to build automated workflows.
Now they've altered a core platform that 500 people rely upon to observe and maintain thousands of projects around the world.
It has become readily apparent that we have made the wrong choice to partner with (pay for) Microsoft to build and sustain our business. I'm exhausted with having to undo and research alternatives to things Microsoft has killed or broken. This is not what my job should be.

Meaning it is possible but we wont do it so there - Dare I ask what changes they are making to Power Automate? I use it regularly too.
- There's what's called New Designer now with a toggle on the top right. I have to assume you've encountered this by now. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/flows-designer
Sometimes the toggle on the top right is there, sometimes it's not. If not, you can change the end of the page URL from &v3=true to &v3=false
To keep a flow in classic designer, add a comment to the trigger and save it.
For now, this is working but I'm just waiting for the shoe to drop. I have tried the new designer and it's just atrocious and inefficient. I'm still relatively new to Power Automate but in the past four years, I've learned how to work with the platform. They're now asking / mandating people relearn the platform and retrain their brains to work with something that's slower, less intuitive, and less logical. Practically, they're squeezing a drafting table down to the size of a cell phone screen.
It's a weekly, if not daily, occurrence now that Microsoft rolls out some update that just adds inefficiencies to my job. I can not think of a single thing they've implemented that was helpful to me in any way.
