Ability to disable "keep tool selected" when inserting form fields
When inserting form fields, Acrobat classic had a pushpin icon in the toolbar called "keep tool selected." With that enabled, after choosing and inserting one form field, the tool stayed active so you could insert more fields. But you had the option to disable it and just insert one field at a time.
In the new experience, it seems the tool staying active to insert multiple fields is the default. That is fine in itself, but there isn't a way to turn it off so you can insert fields individually.
Bring back the functionality to choose whether to insert multiple fields by keeping the tool selected, or not to use that feature so you can insert fields one at a time.

No, that doesn't serve my purpose. I already know how to turn it off. I shouldn't have to turn it off after inserting each field. I want to retain the feature that's existed for years, which gave the user to option to insert one or many fields at a time. Removing useful features is not what I'd call a "modern" Acrobat.

Thanks Tiffany for your feedback.
In Modern Acrobat, you can use the "Select text" tool in Quick toolbar to deselect the form field after inserting once. Please let us know if it serves your purpose. -

Thanks Tiffany for the feedback, I will pass on this to the team to take a deeper look into it to see if there is a way in new UI to achieve the same and log a internal ticket to get it prioritised.
