Field parameters - unable to access when connected to a data warehouse

I am connected to a data warehouse when I use power bi and was wondering why field parameters is grayed out and not accessable?  Is this something that can be turned on?  I can access the new field parameter if I am not connected to the data warehouse.

Currently you can't create parameters in live connection data sources, without a local model. However, using DirectQuery for Power BI datasets and AS (preview), you can add a local model to create field parameters

 

See user guide and limitation of Fieled Parameters here ..
