Explanation

The exception must match an existing entry in the external dynamic list. If the entry you are trying to add as an exception does not correspond to any entry in the EDL, the firewall will not allow If the exception entry you are trying to add already exists in the exception list, the system will prevent adding a duplicate, causing the OK button to be grayed out. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/9-1/pan-os-admin/policy/use-an-external-dynamic-list- in-policy/exclude-entries-from-an-external-dynamic-list#idde8549c4-276f-4916-b315-
