Known Issues
For a given specific Entity, if you select multiple Read related entities, and if one of them has null values for a few records, then Snap displays the following error:An error has occurred."The EDM instance of type '[Microsoft.Dynamics.DataEntities.Person Nullable=True]' is missing the property 'EmployeesV2'."
