CubeIDE version 2.0 lacking adequate selection assistance

Previous versions of cube had very nice board seelction tools.

At the top of the screen was aa complete board descrription that enabled the easy selection of board features when starting a new project and wanting to see what peripherals were available on the board and chip

The current version 2.0 has very, very sparse information, inadequate to find out which boards havee what preipherals. The facility is easyt to provide since it simply references the sales literature available on the ST site.

This information is not even available by double clicking on the products offered in the IDE.

Furthermore, the online product selector is almost useless, there are 3 columns with identical headings under ADC converters. I presume these refer to differrent ADC capabilities, but am left in the dark as to their meaning.

I understand that this might be a seldom used function, occurring once or twice in a product lifecycle, yet it is an invaluable tool.

The filters are also very cumbersome when compared to the left hand tab selector of previous cube versions.

Altogether a regressive step and a very cumbersome experience.

I guesss that sadly, I will need to install an older version of cube alongside the new one.

Am I the only one with this observation?

STM32CubeMX is no longer bundled with STM32CubeIDE starting with v2.0.

Download it as a standalone program and create your project there. There is no loss in functionality, just a change in workflow. You don't have to like it, but if you want to create projects, that or downgrading your IDE are the options.

STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 New workflow tutorial

You mean, "versions of CubeIDE"

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

If we're going to be pedantic, did you mean versions of STM32CubeIDE?
