Resolution: duplicate
Status: newclosed

Per the documentation

In addition, only LIMIT, OFFSET, COUNT(*), ORDER BY, and specifying columns (i.e. slicing, count(), exists(), order_by(), and values()/values_list()) are allowed on the resulting QuerySet. Further, databases place restrictions on what operations are allowed in the combined queries.

Closing as duplicate of #28519 and #32032.
