How to edit hierarchy nowadays

Hi,

 

I'm pretty sure we used to very easy create Hieararchy, by hold, drag and drop fields in PBI desktop, also if I want to edit the order inside. Hieararchy like this ->

Like my current situation whereby the Quarter (just added, it used to be only Year and MonthYear), how to change the order nowadays ?

 

For create new hierarchy, now I need to really right click and choose "Create hierarchy"

Is this the behaviour of a new version or my installation / setting is wrong ?

 

Thanks,

No, you don't have to. It's just a different place that you have to go to...

On the right you CAN drag and drop.

Hi, @admin_xlsior ;

You could create hierarchy in model view and it can drag and drop fields  like below:

Yes, that's what they've done. You can't drag-and-drop anymore 😞

Ohh my...

So the edit also not possible ? I have to remove and add again just now, so that it is in the right order.

How can I create a hierarchy where for example  Order No will appear a level lower then Date meaning it is  in this kind of level : Date->Order No. I simply cannot drag the Order No column and drop it into the Date column. Pls advise how  can I do it. Thanks
