3. Select "View more" on the column datasource in the model.
4. In the last updated section select Edit Import Settings. 
5. Click on Edit Query.
6. Open the existing query and try to add a dimension or measure that didn't exist before.
7. Notice that the error message appears: The query selection cannot be changed. Only filters can be added, removed, or changed.

• Query filters can be modified, but columns cannot be added, removed, or changed. In the case of SQL databases, freehand SQL queries can't be edited.
• Documented in the section: Updating and Scheduling Models in the Product's documentation.

• You can't add or remove dimensions or measures since this is a limitation. However, you can use dimensions as filters in the query.
• One enhancement has been introduced into New Model Type (model with measure) in Non-SAP Data Center Tenants (CF) Only. So if you are experiencing this issue in Classic Account model, it is recommended to migrate your Classic Account Model to a New Model Type.
