XY Table to Point is shortening field names when creating feature classes for a geodatabase

user74562

I am using the XY Table to Point geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS Pro to take .csv files with lat/lon and descriptive attributes, and turn them into point feature classes. The tool works, however I notice the field names are truncated as they would be if I were creating a shapefile (e.g. "program_status" becomes "program_st"). It is my understanding that field names are limited to 64 characters in file geodatabases. I am able to manually rename the output feature class fields back to their full names without an issue. But I would like to stop the XY Table to Point tool from truncating the field names in the first place. Is there a way to accomplish this? Thank you for any pointers.

Hello @user74562 

Using XY Table To Point with this very simple .CSV file, the field names are not truncated and are read in full as expected. I am using ArcGIS Pro 3.1.2. Do you see something different to this ?
