I have a View which loops through terms in a custom taxonomy.

The View output includes another View, into which I am passing the taxonomy title. The idea is to show the most recent WooCommerce product that belongs to each taxonomy term.

However, the nested View is showing ALL the matching terms, despite the fact that the view is set to only show 1 matching result.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link

I expected to see:
1 result per taxonomy term

Instead, I got:
All the matching taxonomy terms are shown

Neither of the Views has a limit set, and hence will return all results.

Change the limit option to display only one result if that is the intention.

I must have turned off the limit when I was trying to debug the problem

If you look at the nested View:

hidden link

you will now see a limit of 1 is set, and yet the output is ignoring that limit

hidden link

Look forward to your thoughts on that

Hello,

I have tried it in my localhost with a fresh WP installation + the latest version of Toolset plugins, it works fine, so the problem you mentioned above is abnormal, please check these:
In case it is a compatibility problem, please deactivate all other plugins, and switch to WordPress default theme 2021, deactivate all custom PHP/JS code snippets, and test again

Looks like a custom function was overriding the limit set by the View. Thanks.
