Improve error message about locked table in Fields View

ArcGIS Pro 2.6.8; Oracle 18c 10.7.1 EGDB

In the Fields View, when I try to delete a field in a locked table, I get this error message:

Most of the content in that error message is not useful. Users often don't notice the part at the end that says, "Table is ~~already~~ locked".

It would be better if the error messages simply stated that the "Table is locked."

Thanks @Bud

Can you outline your workflow steps for me so I can reproduce this specific error?

UserA:
Add the FC to a map. The FC is now locked from other users making table design changes.

UserB:
Add the FC to a map and open the attribute table.
Right click on a field in the attribute table and click Fields.
Delete a field using the Fields View. Click Save.
The field deletion doesn’t work, as expected. There is a red box beside the field in the Fields View. Hover over the red box to see the error message.
