Google refurbish its help document and said:

Important: You can no longer create or edit short names. Short names and URLs that already exist will still work.

Stefan Somborac has tweeted about this:

Google has removed the option to create or edit short names in GMB.

If you have listings with no short name, you'll find the short name field has been removed from the dashboard.

Existing short names remain in the dashboard & continue to function.https://t.co/k8sr8qT8Ai pic.twitter.com/uOo1clvjAq

I know many small businesses who've used them with great success. I wish they'd left them, or have a substitute in the works.
