Using DirectQuery for power bi datasets and azure analysis services
We are trying to assist the customer to set up automated Power BI Deployment Pipelines, which require creating connection strings using Parameters within Power BI Desktop.
As the customer is connecting to Azure Analysis Services in DirectQuery Mode connection, they do not get an option to use Parameters for Server & DB Names—and our testing shows the same results.
Upon further research, we found an MS article, which states that Parameters have currently been disabled.
Using DirectQuery for Power BI datasets and Azure Analysis Services (preview)
Any idea why this is disabled and if there is a way around this? This is blocking my customer tremendously.

A Microsoft employee is asking us (a general user community) why Microsoft has diabled parameters?
I'd have to guess it is because the DQ to AAS is still in preview and the functionality isn't there, has security problems, or is broken.This disabled feature is causing the entire CI/CD pipeline to not be able to publish. There has to be a workaround or another way customers are able to utilize blue/green deployments with out this feature?
