On the previous electrum versions every time I created a new request to receive BTC, Electrum would always give a new unique address to the new request and also the request label I would create for my reference would show on history once funds received for that request.
It may worth mentioning that Electrum 4.3.2 has a change in its behavior, and may be exactly your "problem". The thing is that, from the others' point of view, this is a fix.
# Release 4.3.2 - (September 26, 2022)
* When creating new requests, reuse addresses of expired requests
(fixes #7927).
So if you want to take advantage of the older version's bug, you'll need the older version, sorry.
