Problem with KPIs in composite models

[Anonymous]

Hello. I have a problem that I don't know if it has ever happened to you and that is easy to reproduce:
We start from a data model published in the service with KPIs defined using the Tabular Editor.
If I open Power Bi desktop from scratch and select "Power Bi datasets" as the data source, the selection screen opens to choose the dataset and without further ado it brings me all KPIs included.
If, on the other hand, I open Power Bi Desktop with some existing tables in the Import model and I connect to the same dataset, after the dataset selection screen, I get another one to choose the tables and I see that the KPIs are there. I select everything, but in the list of fields I no longer see the KPIs, but rather it has "broken down" the KPI measures in the form: "_Importe Goal, _Importe Status and _Importe Trend".
This looks like a bug right?

Hi, @Anonymous ;

This is true of design. Two different ways of displaying may be different.You may vote the idea and comment there to improve this feature.

Excuse me but there are not different ways of displaying. Using the same way the results are diferent.

Hi, @Anonymous ;

The display format seems by design in Power BI report view, both in current versions and previous versions.

Actually it was in the folder when you see it in the model view.

If you add your model to a previous one with a table in import mode, the visualization it's not the same...

Hi, @Anonymous ;

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Could you share some scenes, screenshots or simple files to better illustrate it?

As you can see in the File1 video, if I connect to the Power Bi dataset from scratch, I can see the KPIs definition correctly:

But, as you can see in the video File2, if I connect to the same Power Bi dataset from a existing file with import tables, I can't see the KPIs in the proper way:
