I often use pd.DataFrame.spatial.from_layer(***) in my scripts to convert the layer to a pandas dataframe for running reports or otherwise manipulating the data. My scripts have worked fine for the past year or more, but I'm getting an error, now.
Last week, I updated ArcPro to version 3.0.2, and it currently says my ArcGIS Pro version is up to date. I did discover that the Python versions have changed, and since I often run my scripts from Anaconda, I re-cloned the python environment so I'm using the same versions of the arcpy libraries.
However, I'm noticing some funny behaviors with the DataFrame.spatial.from_layer(***) command. I am getting an error due to having nulls in the layers. For one layer, I was able to fix this by setting all nulls to 0 or 1, since these are realistic default codes. However, in other layers, this is not possible. The data represents information being collected in the field, and assuming a particular value when nothing is entered is a bad data management practice. These fields allow nulls and that is required.
Up until last week, the conversion to a dataframe worked fine with nulls. However, I am now getting the error that it is trying to convert null values to an integer, even if I don't have any integer-type classes in the layer. I'm not sure what changed or how to fix this. Please help as I need to run these scripts ASAP (regulatory reporting for the end of the quarter). I am desperate for any help you can provide!
Here is the full error:

And here is the analysis of my fields:

I do have some fields that are type Long, but they also do allow nulls.

Any suggestions?
