Why am I getting transaction too large errors?

Question

I am sending asset1 to an address.  I am only sending 145 units of asset1 and asset1 has 1325.00 units available.  What reasons would there be for a Transaction is too large error?  Below is the send script.

 

chain2: sendassettoaddress 1BDVxVj3yVPGqUXAvQkMBiGZPqf68q4ngiegip asset1 145
{"method":"sendassettoaddress","params":["1BDVxVj3yVPGqUXAvQkMBiGZPqf68q4ngiegip","asset1",145],"id":1,"chain_name":"chain2"}

error code: -4
error message:
Transaction too large

Answer 1

Is it possible that the asset units are spread over a large number of tiny transaction outputs, i.e. that they were sent in very many little pieces? That would mean the new transaction needs a huge number of inputs, which can make it too large.
