Adding tasks to folders/projects without being in the folder/project no longer working

Hello. My team and I discovered recently that when we are in table view (our default) we are no longer able to highlight a folder or project, click the green plus sign to add a new task to the highlighted folder/project and have it assigned to that highlighted area. Rather, the task is assigned to the top level project or folder. Has anyone else noticed that this is no longer functioning? I know that there are multiple other ways that the team can accomplish getting the task assigned to the appropriate place, however this was a quick and easy way to organize tasks without any additional steps. 

Each of our clients has their own project with organizing folders within the overall project. It had been very convenient to be able to be in the client's project in the table view, highlight the folder we need, and have the new task created added to the folder without having to take any additional steps. Is this a fluke that it no longer functions? If not, can we have this functionality back?

Thanks!
