Please make "Preserve Global IDs" a default setting under Options>Geoprocessing. As the administrator of our Enterprise system, managing and curating dozens of authoritative datasets, I must maintain our tables and features, which means often updating production tables, which might mean replacing tables with outdated or deprecated schemas. But, to maintain data and relationship continuity, I rely on GlobalIDs to ensure all my tables will reconcile once they make it to production. In my line of work, I cannot think of an instance where I would want my GlobalIDs to not transfer over to a working copy of the feature. Right now, I must remember to turn on this setting every single time I use Append, Export Data, Feature Class to Feature Class, Table to Table, Copy Features, or Copy Rows. I know that using Copy and Paste w/in ArcGIS Pro preserves GlobalIDs, but I can't always use this feature. Putting this as a default setting is one less thing I must remember to do when maintaining our data.
By contrast, maintaining attachments is already a default setting, and is always on. But there are detailed documents along with rich GP tools that can help transfer attachments after a replication if this isn't done at the time of replication. There are few tools to help reconcile working and production tables if they lack a true and dependable unique ID field like the GlobalID field. This does not seem to be balanced in favor of data integrity. Please consider this. Thanks.
