New Desktop version - I can't create new measures!!!

Hi! I got a new version of PowerBI desktop few days ago (Version: 2.123.742.0 November 2023). Report has live connection to a tabular model. When I choose "new measure" to create a new measure there's no more this space where you could write DAX

When a report is connected to SQL server database everything works fine.

 

Why writing DAX is now disabled when report is connected to tabular model??!! I have hundreds of measures created in Power BI and now I can't no longer see the DAX code or create a new measures!!!

The issue has been reported to ICM and the PG team is verifying the issue, the October version displays the formula bar correctly. It is recommended to use the October version for the time being and upgrade to the November version after this issue has been fixed.
