Additional Information
As stated in the API reference (https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/sdk/api-reference/#topic7015.html), FeatureClass.GetDefinition() throws an exception when called on a joined feature class, because there is no underlying datastore for these temporary datasets. FeatureClass.IsJoinedTable can be used to determine if a feature class belongs to a Join, and FeatureClass.GetJoin can be used to fetch the join. Join.GetDestinationTable and Join.GetOriginTable can be used to get the destination and origin tables. These tables be joins. When IsJoinedTable for a table returns false call GetDefinition.Steps to Reproduce
