I have vector shapes selected. When typing “subtract” in the Actions search field, the action doesn’t show up in the list of options. When typing other vector boolean actions, like “union” or “intersect”, they do show up.
This occurs in both desktop app as well as in the browser. Subtract would show up in the list of Action options in the previous version of Figma.

I’m on version 125.4.9 of the desktop app.

Thanks for following up!
This is definitely odd and not expected behavior.
