Q&A gets wrong date field, how to use the date from Date Dimension?

I'm having problems using the Relative Date Terms feature of Power BI Questions and Answers on a DataSet. When i write a question like "count of something today", power bi automattically uses a random date field as a filter for the today term, instead of the date of the Date Dimension Table that i have.

 

How can i set the main date field for the relative date terms, like today, yesterday, this month, this year?

 

PS: I have a lot o date fields on my Power BI dataset, and they are needed for other puporses, i just want to tell powerbi to use a single date field (the date field on my Date Dimension Table, so all the results can apper correctly)

 

Relative date terms are described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/end-user-q-and-a-tips
