I have been on eBay for 25 years and have recently started seeing listing with this 'you choose' feature and I cannot figure out how to do the listing. I have looked thru the sellers forums but could not find anyhting.

It's called a variation listing, which is abused by a lot of sellers.

Variations are not supported on the app. Make sure you're using the website.
Variations are not supported for auction format listings; make sure you're using fixed price.
Variations are not supported on the simplified listing tool. If you're on the simplified tool you'll see a button on the top right that says "switch to business listing tool" - click on that.
By default the variation setting is hidden on the listing form. Once you unhide the setting it will stick for future listings. On the top right of the business listing tool click the settings menu (3 vertical dots) and toggle the variations slider if it's not already on.
Make sure you're creating a new listing and not using relist or sell similar from a listing without variations.
Beyond that it comes down to category; not every category supports variations.
If the category supports variations you'll find them in a non-intuitive, awkward placement on the listing form - below item specifics instead of above them. Make sure you set up variations before you fill out any of the item specifics.
