Resolution

Kindly submit an enhancement request to request this feature as per - 2424376 - How do you create an enhancement request and provide feedback for SAP Analytics Cloud?

Please use following workaround:

Copy such huge models without including data (unset checkbox "include data" in the copy dialog). Afterwards you should use your data import jobs on the copied model to load in data. If you unset "include data", the master data is still copied and only the fact data is skipped.
