Note that ArcGIS 10.8.2 is the current release of ArcGIS Desktop and will enter Mature Support in March 2024 (https://support.esri.com/en-us/products/arcmap/life-cycle).

Workaround

Workaround:

  1. In ArcMap 10.6.1 or 10.7, navigate to Model Properties.

  3. Save the model.
  4. Run the model as a tool.

Keep the geoprocessing environment settings and the ArcToolbox environment settings to its default location (.gdb).
