SQL Statements for Postgres Database Connections (DirectQuery)

I have been trying to query a table from a Postgres database using DirectQuery to gather multiple columns within a single function, however I am only able to pull one column per function. If I attempt to pull more than one column per function we get clickable error in each row stating "We don't support CLR type 'System.Object'".  Has anyone else had this issue?

I have verified data types and I can bring in any column, but only individually for some reason.
