I use Secure Notes in Keychain quite a bit and have amassed a collection over the years. Under Sequoia, I no longer seem to be able to create a new secure note. Choosing the "Create a new keychain item" icon brings up the "New Password" dialogue regardless of whether passwords or notes are being displayed.
Is this a bug?

No. Keychain Access is deprecated. You can store secure notes in using the Notes app, as described here: Store confidential information securely using Notes on Mac - Apple Support
If you have any existing secure notes in Keychain Access, I recommend moving them.
(Never mind.)
So is the proposed solution to use the notes app and secure the notes instead of using keychain?
I see you can not lock a note if it contains a pdf, whereas you could include pdf file in keychain and have them protected.
No. Keychain Access is deprecated.
Really? And where developer certificates will now be stored? And how code-signing scripts will find them?

Moving where? Where do you move developer certificates?
You can add notes to a password. In the Passwords app, select a password. Click on the Edit button in the upper right. Now a Notes field appears. Add a note and click Save.
Sure but in order to save it you must have something in the user and password fields so not quite the same
I agree, keychain has some many more useful facilities than passwords. The latter is very limited in usage!
