Unable to change data type of measure after creating calculation group

Hi,

 

I have recently created a calculation group for my model using Tabular Editor 3. I understand that this disables the DiscourageImplicitMeasures option of the model and thus implicit measures are disabled. I don't mind this as I always use explicit measures. However, i am now running in to the problem that i cannot change the data type of measures anymore. For example, i have a measure CurrentDate = MAX('Date'[date]) that fetches the last available date from the date table. I cannot change the data type of this measure to Date/Time. Because of this, some calculations involving this Date measure are not working anymore.
