I'm running Catalina. I'd like to download Mojave 10.14 from the App Store, so that I can install it on an external SSD.
The App Store doesn't seem to have it, neither does Apple downloads. Although, Apple downloads does have 10.14.6, but I need 10.14.
Where can I get Mojave 10.14 and how do I install it on an external SSD?
Thanks!

You need to open this page in Safari and download it from there.

You would then need to create a USB Bootable Installer of Mojave, boot either Mac from that then install to the external drive connected to them.

Sorry then no, The 16" MacBook Pro shipped with macOS 10.15.1. You can't run a version earlier than that. You could install it as a VM in Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox if that is suitable.
Ok both those computers have 10.15.6 installed on them.
Where do I download 10.14.6 so that I can install it on a SSD?
When I go to:
https://support.apple.com/downloads/mojave
I see the Mojave 10.14.6 Combo Update and 10.14.6 Update. Do I not need 10.14 first to install the updates?
Mojave 10.14.6 is the only version available.
Can I install 10.14.6 (not the update) on an external drive as a bootable OS?
Depends. What year Mac do you have?
The latest 2019, 16 inch MBP.
I don't have any of those other app's. I do have a 2016 MBP and 2017 iMac Pro. Would that work?
Yes, both.
Ah yes, thank you. If I downloaded Mojave and kept the installer in the Applications folder, could I then install it on the SSD, or do I have to create a USB Bootable installer?
You're welcome. Since you are already running Catalina on them you need the bootable installer.
I see. ok thank you again dialabrain. You've been very helpful.
You're welcome. Glad to help.
