How to remove LayerName.FieldName join format in model builder?

Question

I am running a join in model builder based on a calculated field in a geodatabase table and a created layer. After the join I am selecting features and copying selection to a new Shapefile.

My issue is that during the join the resulting joined layer has all field named using the LayerName.FieldName naming convention. I have tried both checking and unchecking the environment setting of "Maintain Fully Qualified Field Names," however, neither are working. Only way I can seem to fix it is to manually delete and rename the fields during the copy features process.

Wondering is there a specific modelbuilder setting/tool/process I can use to only keep actual field names.

Answer 1

The tool Copy Features honours the qualified field names environment setting. So Use that tool to make a copy of the dataset with the join and work with that.
