When the feature type is a linked pattern, the selection list contains the SolidWorks features used in its definition.

The example shows a DimXpert pattern of eight holes that are linked to the two listed SolidWorks features, each having four holes.
Removing one of the two SolidWorks features would reduce the pattern count to four holes.
