I wanted to create a feature layer in a model that only had certain fields in it, but the output had all the fields anyway, which created a mess - renaming and deleting fields in field maps by hand. Is there some trick to getting this to work properly? I keep running into surprise gotchas.
Since the feature layer is something that exists only in-memory, I would extend the model to actually write the feature layer to disk. You will probably then get the desired results.
