This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to modify or delete a status that is actively linked to a business process or configuration.

  Editing the scheme to remove the status.
  Changing the status in the relevant configurations.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the status in other parts of the system.
