Pivot grid allows users to add any field to any zone type, but in OLAP connection it doesn't make sense because only measure fields give a meaningful data representation when added to aggregate zone and other dimension fields adding to column/row/filter zones. Configuration Panel Fields Context Menu is misleading because when clicked on any dimension it allows user to add any field to any zone as mentioned. how to avoid this. Disable  "move to aggregate fields" for dimension fields and enable only  "move to aggregate fields" for measures in Configuration Panel Fields Context Menu

Hello Yohan,

You can use the CheckBox before the item listed in the All Fields, to select it, and it will go to the proper field area. We will try to improve the configuration panel and the fields drag-drop functionality in future to restrict invalid configurations, but currently there is no option that to disable the drag-drop as per your requirements.

Hello Yohan,

Currently I could not give an estimation when we will improve this or it will be possible to be improved. At the moment there is no workaround.
