Additional Information
We do not have plans to address this issue at this time.Workaround
1. Export the feature class to a shapefile and the geodatabase table to a Database file (dbf) table separately to convert the GlobalID field(s) to text field types. 2. Perform the table join between the resultant shapefile and the dbf. 3. Export to another shapefile to make the join permanent.OR1. Join the original feature class to the geodatabase table by going to the Layer Properties > Fields tab for the joined feature class or shapefile. 2. Uncheck the field visibility for the GlobalID field(s).This exports the join to a shapefile but without the GlobalID field(s).Steps to Reproduce
