Workaround

  • Use the Copy Features geoprocessing tool, as this tool supports attachments and the problem does not occur when using this tool.
  • A second option is to turn off attachment transfer in the Export Features tool, as this will also resolve the issue.
  • Third option is to disable Editor tracking. Please see below the workflow:
  1. In ArcGIS Online export the hosted feature layer from the portal to a geodatabase. Click Export Data and Export to FGDB.
  2. From the item details page, click Download to download the geodatabase.
  3. Extract the .zip file to a convenient location.
  4. In ArcGIS Pro, connect to the folder that contains the file geodatabase downloaded in the previous step. Right-click Folders and Add Folder Connection.
  5. Right-click the feature class, and click Manage.
  6. In the Feature Class Properties dialog box, in the Manage tab, uncheck the Editor tracking check box to disable editor tracking on the feature class.
