Additional Information
We apologize that we were unable to address this issue within the current product support cycle. If the issue continues to affect your work in a supported release, please contact Technical Support. Note that ArcGIS 10.8.2 is the current release of ArcGIS Desktop and will enter Mature Support in March 2024 (https://support.esri.com/en-us/products/arcmap/life-cycle). There are no plans to release an ArcGIS Desktop 10.9, and we recommend that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro. See Migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro (https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-pro/resources/migrate) for more information.Workaround
When adding the Web Feature Service (WFS) URL, navigate to Parameters > WFS Output Format, and clear any text in the box so that it is blank. Click OK. The error message opens and, click again 'Add Interoperability Connection' > Parameters. All parameters from the previous attempt is saved. Click OK - now the connection works.Steps to Reproduce
