  Unfortunately this is an issue with the MAPDL UI in 2021 R2 - please use the F or FK command instead to apply load:
  (https://forum.ansys.com/discussion/32266/need-information)
  
  so:
  F,ALL,FX,1
  
  applies a nodal load to all selected nodes in the x direction of 1 N.
  
  or FK,1,FX,1
  
  applies a load to keypoint 1 in the x direction of 1 N.
  All the best
  
  Erik
