complex/subquery not working

Hi there! I was trying phprad classic edition (2.7.3) and come to an issue with the complex query.

use case: I have a pages table with id, title, and parent_id (for parent-child relation) columns. In the add page, I want to put a select field for the parent_id column with custom SQL query (see bellow) that return id as value and path (page 1 / page 2) as label.

Code: [Select]
WITH RECURSIVE pages_hierarchy AS (
SELECT
id,
title,
parent_id,
title AS path
FROM
pages
WHERE
parent_id IS NULL
OR parent_id = 0
UNION ALL
SELECT
pages.id,
pages.title,
pages.parent_id,
CONCAT(pages_hierarchy.path,
' / ',
pages.title)
FROM
pages,
pages_hierarchy
WHERE
pages.parent_id = pages_hierarchy.id
)
SELECT
id as value,
path as label
FROM
pages_hierarchy;

problem: after saving, the custom SQL goes to the quick list (set field Datasource window) automatically and the script broke.

the SQL working fine on PHPMyAdmin (image attached).

can anyone help me? is complex query like this not supported yet?

Thanks
