Data Bar (formatting) option disappeared after it worked already

After having integrated data bars to tables some weeks ago I discovered that the data bar option under conditional formatting disappeared which meant I could not format the data bars anymore. The function is available when I create the same table again but cannot edit the existing (percentage) data bar column anymore. There seems to be a glitch in PowerBI maybe created by the April 2024 update. Since there are over 30 further tables like this I'm not keen on using the workaround creating/formatting/filtering the tables again. Any help/tip appreciated.

Hi @Nick_VDN 
I have a very old file (over a year old) with conditional formatting for bars that I just opened to do a test. And everything is working fine
