Well, it's a UI *change* - this is now in the properties of the
container. If you pick any subvol, you should see a button that lets you
edit the properties of the volume, and you can set its name, target size
and RAID level from there. This is part of the major container UI change
we're trying to test, in fact.

Is there a specific bug report for it?

Similar to the btrfs thing; you set it from the properties of the VG
now.
