I did two things to make the Select Special work. First, as you recommended, I created a layer from the selected feature. Then, I selected the feature from the new layer on the map (not the attribute table) and pasted it on the target layer without error.
I used to select the features from the attribute table and then paste them in the target layer. Apparently, the new version of ArcPro requires that the feature be selected on the map.
Thanks for your help.
