PROBLEM
When exporting a feature layer to a shapefile in ArcGIS Pro, the field name of the exported shapefile is truncated to ten characters. The image below shows the field name, 'Type_Of_Creeks' is truncated to 'Type _Of_Cr' in ArcGIS Pro.
This is a known limitation for shapefiles. Shapefiles use the dBASE file format to store attribute information of features and a dBASE field name imposes a ten-character limitation. Refer to ArcGIS Pro: Name restrictions based on length for more information.
The image below shows the full field name displayed in the attribute table in ArcGIS Pro.
