Cause

This issue can be caused by the blending subqueries which are generated when linking models.  If the subqueries are too large to be handled then the error above can occur.

Resolution

Some suggestions to resolve this issue:

  1. Currently the default link is on description.  Change that to ID so that only truly matching rows from the two models are returned.  Leaving the link as default can cause a significant amount of extra processing to be required.
  2. Select the minimum set from each model needed to be displayed in the story/ widget.  Only choose the minimum fields, records needed.
