That would be a chasm trap or fan trap.
Please, try a search on BOB using the very same keywords.

And the topic has been moved from General Discussion forum to Semantic Layer forum where Designer and universe related issues are discussed.

Also, please read the Designer FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) for What is a chasm trap, why is it a problem, and how do I correct it?. And there’s an FAQ somewhere else in that same topic on fan traps.
