Enable 'Change tracking' for virtual F&O data entity error: Change tracking cannot be enabled...

Here is what I did to support this change:
  1.  Create extension of HcmWorkerEntity in F&O
  2. Set HcmWorkerEntity property 'Allow Row Version Change Tracking' to 'Yes'.
  3. Activate HcmWorkerEntity as virtual entity via power platform.
  4. After activation, go to activation form for virtual entity and select 'Change tracking'
After doing these steps I receive: Change tracking cannot be enabled since F&O entity HcmWorkerEntity uses a custom query
 
What 'custom' query is it referring?  Could this be the 'defaultCTQuery' that is on the HcmWorkerEntity?

    A custom query is not allowed for Row version change tracking. 
     
    Many exising entities use a custom query and they must be rewritten to support Row version change tracking. 
     
    Row version change tracking has some rules before the entity is valid. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/data-entities/rowversion-change-track
     
    Row version change tracking is needed to support features like Synapse integration.

    A long list of entities contains BIEntity is designed for Row version change tracking.

    A custom query for change tracking in an F&O entity means writing an X++ method returning a query object rather than letting the system to analyze the entity structure and decide which tables needs to be taken into account. You can see an example in Enable change tracking for entities > Custom query for change tracking. It's used, for example, when the entity uses a view as a data source and you want to enable change tracking for those tables.
