Workaround
Altering a field to be NOT NULL is only applicable if the table is empty (does not contain records). There are several options for avoiding the crash:
- Drop the table and recreate with the correct field configurations.
- Dropping the desired column to not allow nulls and recreate the column that way.
- Use ArcMap 10.8.1 or ArcGIS Pro 3.x. to perform the alter field.
