Why does my table Alias get removed when using OpenJSON?

in SQL Prompt
As I've been learning how to shred Json objects in SQL, I'm finding some strange behavior with SQL Prompt.
I have Json with nested objects, that I shred like this:
If I format my code using Ctrl K+Y, the alias for "oj" drops in my CROSS APPLY. This is particularly problematic when I have several nested objects that I CROSS APPLY in the same query and all aliases drop after formatting.
Do you have any suggestions on how I can keep the table Alias alive in my following Joins?

DECLARE @Json NVARCHAR(MAX) = N'
[
{
"ProductID":594,
"ProductName":"Sample",
"OrgID":5876,
"Numerics":{
"Q1":"5",
"Q2":"8",
"Q3":"9",
"Q4":"9",
"Q5":"8"
}
}
]'
SELECT oj.ProductID
, oj.ProductName
, oj.OrgID
, p.[Key] AS Question
, p.Value AS Answer
FROM
OPENJSON(@Json)
WITH ( ProductID INT
, ProductName NVARCHAR(50)
, OrgID INT
, Numerics NVARCHAR(MAX) AS JSON ) AS oj
CROSS APPLY OPENJSON(oj.Numerics) AS p
