Question

ArcGIS Pro 2.8.4: The “output backlink raster” of “cost distance” of model builder fails to generate a default name and to respect the “scratch workspace” environment,

I couldn’t figure out why the “output backlink raster” of “cost distance” of model builder fails to generate a default name and to respect the “scratch workspace” environment.

Why it doesn’t take an automatics name (like other outputs) and stored as set per the “scratch workspace” environment

Is this by design?

This issue persists to exist even in Pro 3.1.5

It appears that the grayed outputs don’t respect the scratch workspace environment settings.

I ma be need to report it in the Ideas forum or is it by design?
