So after reviewing the following resources I can't find anything specific about the removal of that button but my knowledge of the architecture of bitcoin core is limited and it may be a change documented here necessarily implies its removal:
https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.17.0
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitcoin-core-0170-released-heres-whats-new/
I did learn I can just leave all those fields blank to effectively do the same thing as the New button in Receiving Addresses used to do

but I'm guessing clicking Request Payment does something more on the network than just creating a new receiving address in the old window?
No, it just displays it differently.
Thanks

Oh ok - thanks.
I'll find some more documentation about that window - I've never used it but I'm guessing clicking Request Payment does something more on the network than just creating a new receiving address in the old window?

Umm am I just being really thick or has the "New" button in the Receiving Addresses window of bitcoin core disappeared in 0.17.0?
I think you need to press "Receive Payment" now, and that'll generate a new receiving adress (every time you click it).
See the picture below;
You can go to File > Receiving adresses and it'll show up there too.
