Model Builder Altering Output Table Name and Breaking Model

GC_GIS — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 18:52:39 GMT

I am trying to use the export table tool in model builder but after the model is ran once, it adds "_View2" to the end of the output table name and breaks the model. It works the first time, then it alters the output table name and I get errors "ERROR 000271: Cannot open the input datasets
Failed to execute (Export Table)."
I have "Allow geoprocessing tools to overwrite existing datasets" checked. Any help is appreciated.

I have been experiencing the same thing, and cannot find a fix in ArcGIS Pro 3.3.6 and its very frustrating. Has worked fine in earlier versions 3.1 and earlier for me. About to reach out to ESRI support on this one.

@GC_GIS Here's an update to eliminate model builder from adding View to the end of the Output and breaking your model.

1. Ensure your ArcGIS Pro project is stored on the local machine, not saved to network drive

2. Remove all spaces from the Path of the project (ex. C:\ArcGIS\MyProject\No_spaces )

3. If your using Add Join in your model, replace with Join Field or Join Features tools instead.

Following and implementing these three things has eliminated my issues with model adding View to the end of the output file. If the issue still exists, I would reach out to ESRI support.

This really isn't a great solution since the Join Field tool requires the field names to be the same in both tables.

I'm not sure that is the case, my join fields don't have the same name, but they are of the same type of field, which I believe was also the case for Add Join.
