lammps – KSpace style for hybrid/overlay table and dipole?

I’m trying to run lammps for a system subject to a custom short-range potential, that I have in a table, as well as the lammps lj/cut/dipole/long interaction (with LJ epsilon set to 0 because I do not want its contribution) with ewald summation. I need to provide a kspace_style for this in the input script, but I always get the error:

ERROR: KSpace style is incompatible with Pair style (src/kspace.cpp:201)

I tried ewald, ewald/dipole and ewald/disp, same error. I am using lammps-29Oct20.

I want to know if I need to add some tags or something to the hybrid/overlay command. I tried just the dipole interaction with the ewald/dipole kspace style, and it did not produce this error, so I figure it’s to do with either the table or the hybrid/overlay pair styles.

Here is my input script. Any input would be appreciated.
