    Hi,

    We are fetching data via 'Direct Query' option using the Azure Data base, then we discovered that we needed some data from the Sharepoint Online Lists too.

    But when we tried to fetch data from the Lists, the data connection changed from 'Direct Query' to 'Import'. Not sure why this is happening.

    We should be able to fetch data using direct query and not force us to import
