Hello,

My problem is that the configuration of my extension is blocked, it displays “needs configuration”.

I am developing an extension in react.  
In a useEffect hook I call the `configuration.set`, `configuration.onChanged` and `onAuthorized` functions.  
When the user clicks on a save button I call `configuration.set function` to save the data.

I don’t understand what is blocking the configuration.

What causes the “needs configuration” message and how can I remove it?

This API method, or using a Version in the `.set` JS Helper call

`window.Twitch.ext.configuration.set('segment', VERSIONMATCHINGBELOW, 'config);`

Coupled with the relevant field(s) in the dev console

So the version that was `.set` needs to match the relevant field entry from the screenshot. Or if EBS calling/setting config you do a second call to `Set Extension Required Configuration`

if you do not require this system blanking the fields in the dev console should resolve, but you may need to fully uninstall/reinstall the extension after blanking the dev console fields
