Additional Information
This is a known limitation of the Append tool while using the PreserveGlobalIds environment variable. The GlobalID field requires a unique index to honor the PreserveGlobalIds environment setting, which is not supported for file geodatabase data. These limitations are documented in the PreserveGlobalIDs gp environment help topic as well as Add Attribute Index help topic.https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/environment-settings/preserve-globalids.htmhttps://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/add-attribute-index.htmSteps to Reproduce
