collect use error -- "too many dimension levels"

[Scott Adams]

Hi,
When I create a collection that includes a number of regression models, save the collection, and then later try to use it from the file, I get the following error:

. collect use "results/collect/model1",replace
problem with collection results/collect/model1.stjson;
invalid item dimension specification;
too many dimension levels specified
r(103);

I will grant it is a large collection of models.

. collect dims

Collection dimensions
Collection: model1

Layout, style, header, label
                      cmdset   21

                      result   56        
                 result_type   3         
                     rowname   1

                      visit0   3         

Style only
                border_block   4         
                   cell_type   4         
-----------------------------------------

But I see the same issue if I only do one model so cmdset has 3 levels.

And I think I have done this with larger ones before.

I have Stata 18.0 / 15 May 2023.
Realize this is old, but I have no control over that or access to the internet through Stata.
Is this something fixed in later revisions?
Or is this simply too big?
If so, how can I prevent collect from collecting all the results? -- I do not need every thing returned from the model to be in the collection.

Thanks,
Scott
