Hello @davidnemeti ,

The answer for this one will be similar to the one provided on: https://github.com/zzzprojects/EntityFramework-Extensions/issues/484

Unfortunately, that's currently unsupported.

However, we are currently working hard to recode some parts of our library to be able to handle more complex scenarios like this one. I cannot provide any expected date but I believe it will come during this summer.

Best Regards,

Jon
