Codex ask and code button consolidated into one. Is there a way to change this back. It hs completely screwed up my work flow.

They just went away a few minutes ago for me. This is a downgrade. Furthermore, I was able to hit enter without submitting. It’s a little easier on us HUMANS to view things that we write with linebreaks in them.

This disappeared for me yesterday, a huge fail to remove these options. Luckily, I still have a tab open with the UI unchanged, and I can still use the Ask and Code buttons, but any new tab I open they’re gone.
This was definitely not the right move.

I can’t event get it to create suggested tasks anymore. This is extremely frustrating, and to make matters worse the update/change came like a thief in the night.

Exactly big down grade it isn’t as accurate as it used to be either

I’ve posted this in another thread, but the following “Custom Instructions” in Codex settings has kind of fixed this for me
# Task-stub format (required)
Insert this multi-line markdown directive immediately after describing each issue:
:::task-stub{title="Concise, user-visible summary of the fix"}
Step-by-step, self-contained instructions for implementing the change.
Include module/package paths, key identifiers, or distinctive search strings so the implementer can locate the code quickly.
:::
* `title` must be present and non-empty.
* Body must contain actionable content—no placeholders like “TBD”.
## Location guidance
Provide just enough context for the assignee to pinpoint the code:
- Fully-qualified paths, key function/class names, distinctive comments or strings, or directory-level hints.
- List every affected file only when truly necessary.
**Never** describe a work plan or fix outside this structure. If you can propose an actionable change but do not provide a stub, you are doing the wrong thing.

There is also another solution under “Codex Web Ul unable to generate tasks”
Thanks everyone flagging this, our team is actively working on mitigation now.
I concur, the distinct options are vital
Thank you all again for your feedback here! We’ll be reverting this change to surface both the Ask and Code buttons.
