How to preserve OBJECTID while exporting feature class to another EGDB using Feature class to feature class

Question

Is there any way to preserve OBJECTID while exporting feature class to another EGDB using Feature class to feature class ?

I have found that using the copy function in ArcGIS Desktop keeps the OBJECTID values of the source feature class. Feature Class to Feature Class does not reliably, in my experience. I am not sure if these statements are true in ArcGIS Pro. I still wouldn't count on OBJECTID column being preserved when moving a feature class from one source to another and would recommend abandoning any workflows that rely on the OBJECTID values.

Hi @TonyContreras_Frisco_TX , Yes the copy function works in both Desktop and ArcGIS Pro and It can retain the OBJECTID.

Hence I wrote the below python to achieve it.

import arcpy, os
connection_file = r"\input URL Path"local_fgdb = r'\outputgdb Patha'
fullname = os.path.join(connection_file, "inputFeatureClassName")feats=arcpy.FeatureSet(table=fullname)feats.save(os.path.join(local_fgdb, "inputFeatureClassName"))
