The docs say:
"There's a semantic model-level setting to automatically update Direct Lake tables. It's enabled by default. It ensures that data changes in OneLake are automatically reflected in the Direct Lake semantic model. You should disable automatic updates when you want to control data changes by framing (...)"
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/fundamentals/direct-lake-overview#automatic-updates
Currently, this disabling needs to be done manually on each semantic model in each workspace.
However, best practice is to not do manual adjustments in Test and Prod workspaces.
Please make it possible to control this behavior via Git instead. This setting could be a part of the definition of the semantic model item.
Please also make it possible to use Deployment Rules or Variable Library to control this behavior in Test and Prod when we're using Fabric Deployment Pipelines.
