  You can delete unnecessary variants or modify them to ensure that only one variant is active for the application.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the application to ensure that it is set up correctly and that there are no conflicting settings.
  Transport Management: If the issue arose due to a transport, check the transport logs and ensure that only the required variants are included in the transport request.
