Category Selector RESET missing?

Hello

since the update last week, seems like we lost the option to RESET a category selector widget:

This was the option prior to the update:

Now since the update last week:

The reset option is important when you have a long list of items selected. I know.... I could select the Select All and then un select it.... it's just that the previous way of using reset was much cleaner.

Thanks!

@DominicRobergeIADOT I agree that the reset option within filters is important. It looks to me like Esri wants to force us to use the "dashboard reset" option instead now... but that is not enabled for all dashboards, and is not intuitive for users who have always use the "reset" option at the bottom of their filters. In addition, when a filter has more than 5 options, providing a "reset" option within the filter itself enhances accessibility (and allows those of us who must comply with ADA Title II and WCAG 2.1 to do so).
