Disabling auto-detect relationships on refresh

Hi there,

 

I have a PowerBI desktop file which I manually refresh fairly often. Each time I do this, PowerBI automatically detects and creates relationships which I do not want to be created. Is there any way to avoid this?

@jtsmithers This can be done by going to options:

 

File -> Options & Settings -> Options -> Data load

 

Under Relationships you can switch on or off different options.
