SQL Server Invalid version: 15 (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

Question

Context: I'm having difficulty modifying a stored procedure in SQL Server 2016. The stored procedure performs parsing of json data within a file. For some reason I'm able to execute the stored procedure and it executes successfully but when I try to modify the stored procedure I get the following message:

Question: Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips? Below is the content of the stored procedure. SQL Server 2016 supports the various functions used including the OPENJSON function.

Using SSMS version 18.0 instead of 17.0 seems to be working.

You can download it from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-2017
