Converting from Live connection to Direct Query is changing the Measure formats to default

We have Power BI reports with a live connection to Azure Analysis Services and we want to enhance the model and make it a composite model. To do that we changed the live connection to a direct query. The moment the model is changed to direct query all the measure formatting is set to default. is this the limitation with the direct query to analysis services?
