We see this error when the user trying to remove the extenison is in different domain than that of the pattern domain.

Resolution Instead of deleting the extension section from the pattern designer, we can delete the pattern from the "sa_pattern" table.

1. Go to the sa_pattern.LIST from the navigation filter 2. Look for the pattern extension: XXXXXXXXX 3. Open the pattern, you will see a pop-up that says

XXXXXXX is part of "YYYYYYY" application but you are in the "ZZZZZZZ" domain, to edit the record click here

4. Once you click on that click here, it will show you an option to delete the extension and you can delete from here.
