What happened to new project/module dialog?
Answered
I'm using IJ 2019.3.3 and just tried to create new Maven project and new Gradle module both from existing sources. Back in the day dialog appeared with multiple options like where to store IJ config files or which Maven/Gradle tool to use (internal, wrapper, external), but now it's all gone -- new/open dialogs close immediately after selecting build file. What happened to those dialogs? How to bring them back?

New Maven/Gradle project wizard was reworked. Now it applies all the reasonable defaults without prompting additional dialogs/configuration steps with many options, see IDEA-191523 and IDEA-210278 for details. Is there an issue?
Is there any post explaining how to access those settings now or are they completely gone? The current defaults do not really suit me, I did actually like the dialog with all the options. Why not make a "Advanced" button to show them (hidden by default)?
Settings for new projects can be configured via IDE-level settings: File | Other Settings | Settings(Preferences) for New Projects | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Maven.
I don't see most useful setting of where to keep *.iml files. Any hint? Also can't find setting of which gradle distribution to use (system wide/wrapper) that use quite often.
So instead of having those options available at hand during project/module import, it's now considered "easier" to remember to go to those options explicitly and only after that import module?

Please see IDEA-229122 Could you please add your use-case (why do you seed this option there). Thank you.

Please add your use-case in IDEA-215792 and why is it needed to specify it for each project. It would be much appreciated. Thank you.
