What causes this issue?

You want data of entity type &V1& to be read. But you have limited your
selection to entity type &V2&, which acts as an additional key in a
dependent entity type.
The system could only consider this restriction if at least one of the
following conditions were fulfilled:
There is only one dependent entity type in which the entity type &V2&
acts as an additional key.
The entity types, in which entity type &V2& acts as an additional key,
are all dependent on exactly one other entity type in which entity type
&V2& also acts as an additional key.
An attribute of one of the dependent entity types, in which entity type
&V2& acts as an additional key, is also limited further.
For the current search query, none of these conditions are met.
