I usually go to my dock and send as many companions out on missions that I need as I can, then go into my ship and do it again, because usually loading screens would serve to refresh the list so I could usually send 4 or 5 companions out for the same material. But this isn't working any more. ***?

I didn't think gathering missions (slicing and archaeology at least) ever refreshed. At the highest level, slicing always has 5 missions (2 bountiful augment parts, 1 moderate augment parts, 1 bountiful lockboxes, 1 moderate lockboxes) and archaeology always has the same 5 missions as well. If you sent a companion out on the 2 bountiful augment part misssions, no matter how many times you changed zones, those 2 missions would not reappear in your crew window until they were completed.

Yes they did. In fact, this is how I got the legacy rewards for talking to all of my companions. I would send 3 of them out on UWT Rank 5 Companion Gift missions, go into my ship and I would have 2 more UWT Rank 5 Companion Gift missions to send them out on again. Now it is not doing this with archaeology and UWT.

UWT is not a gathering skill. Archaeology is. UWT does refresh and I know it was this weekend as I was farming rank 3 metals. Archaeology does not refresh.

As far as I can tell nothing has changed. The skills that were refreshing before 1.2 are still refreshing, the skills that weren't refreshing back then still are not now.

UWT: still works, tested this morning

TH: still works, tested this morning

Archeology: never worked, because no other missions exist

Scavenging: never worked, because no other missions exist

Slicing: never worked, because no other missions exist

diplomacy is bugged

5 tiers of nothing but gift missions

and IMO GIFT missions is NOT CRAFTING

To be more accurate, archaology, scavenging and slicing refresh as well. It's just that at the highest grade, there are only 5 missions total, so you always see all of them available, refresh or no refresh. They'll probably be in a different order though.

(Disclaimer: I have no idea whether or not going onto your ship/leaving your ship in particular still works. I have a mess of crafting alts, so if I don't have a mission I want to run on a particular one, I simply switch to the next crafting alt to send out his companions, then switch back, and that definitely still refreshes the list.)

UWT is not working. I have even logged of and back and still had the same missions that were left when i logged off.

I don't know why it's not working for you, but it's clearly working for me.
