3741424 - Error: COE_EXPAND_DEPTH_EXCEED_THRESHOLD when expanding FODepartment

Symptom

Integrations or API clients calling /odata/v2/FODepartment with a deeply nested $expand (commonly through repeated parentNav expansion for hierarchy traversal) fail with an error similar to:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "COE_EXPAND_DEPTH_EXCEED_THRESHOLD",
    "message": {
      "lang": "en-US",
      "value": "[COE0046] Expand depth 6 of parentNav/parentNav/parentNav/parentNav/parentNav/parentNav exceeds the limit 5."
    }
  }
}
 
The framework blocks the request once the expand depth threshold is exceeded.
