Root Cause
A software use or operation error : It is expected behavior as per Pega Product design.
Resolution
Here’s the explanation for the reported behavior:
The alternate approach is to use property-set-messages in an activity and call the activity on change event of the editable field using Run Activity action.
Hence, on click of button, one should call an activity which contains Page-Clear-Messages as a first action (Before Launch Local action call).
Using this way, one can clear messages using Page-Clear-Messages method.
