No longer allowed to create dynamic chart titles with measures?

Are dynamic chart titles no longer available as of the November 2025 Power BI Desktop release?

 

In the past, I used to create dynamic titles for my charts and visuals using this demo: How To Create A Dynamic Title In Power BI (Easiest Way) (2025 Guide) As you can see, the person wrote a DAX measure that will change based on user selections. Around 3:01, the developer navigates to the Visualization pane, clicks General, scrolls to Title, and then clicks the "fx" button. The developer can select a DAX measure, which will update based on the slicer selection. 

I was able to do this fine until this morning, when I created a new Power BI file uses a Power BI semantic model as its data source.  I am trying to recreate an old report that has the semantic model and the visuals on the same file. I am recreating the report on a new file because I want to have a .pbix file that only has visuals and connects to to a Power BI semantic model. In the new file, I notice that all but a few of my measures are grayed out and cannot be selected. I tried putting the measure in Tooltip so I could select it from "Data in report" but unfortunately I could not press "OK" to proceed.

Is this feature no longer available, or is there something I am missing?

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out:

Never mind, I figured it out.  The issue is that I am using a measure I created in a file that is linked to a semantic model, rather than a model measure. Read more here:
