Description:
Default value of "Default target MySQL Version" in MySQL Workbench 8.0.11 is "5.6.30".
This is too old version of mysqld.

How to repeat:
1. Install "MySQL Workbench 8.0.11-rc" freshly.
2. Open "Edit" > "Preferences" > "Modeling" > "MySQL" and look for "Default target MySQL Version"

----

Or see https://github.com/mysql/mysql-workbench/blob/8.0.11/plugins/db.mysql/backend/db_plugin_be... and confirm "5.6.30" is hard-coded.

Suggested fix:
Change "5.6.30" to "8.0.11".

Hello Tanaka-San,

Thank you for the report and feedback!
Workaround is to manually change "Default Target MySQL Version".

Thanks,
Umesh

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 8.0.13 release, and here's the changelog entry:

The default target version of MySQL to use with MySQL Workbench models was
set to MySQL 5.6.30 and did not increment automatically. With this fix,
the value now defaults to the latest version. The default target version
can also be set manually (see Preferences: Modeling: MySQL).

Thank you for the bug report.
