This appears to be a red herring, but as a last ditch effort, I'm posting it up here. I've checked a number of sources:
FAQ: Which data loading scenarios will preserve Global ID values?
Preserving a GlobalID while moving data between Feature Classes
arcgis 10.0 - How to maintain GlobalIDs while copying shapefile data into ESRI FGDB feature class? - Geographic Informat… just to name a few....
I have data that came to me via Survey 123: point features and related attachments tables. Survey 123 used GlobalID in the point features as the key and the attachments tables store that value in a field called REL_GlobalID. The issue is we would like to migrate historical point data from Survey 123 into a table in an enterprise Geodatabase. As indicated in the first link copy and paste preserves the GlobalID, but since I going from a feature class to a table, copy and paste won't do the trick.
The other links above provide a nifty work around to populate a GUID type field with the incoming GlobalIDs. However, since the survey uses GlobalID to Rel_GlobalID as the relationship key/foreign key that does not seem like a valid approach for our application.
Bottom line: is there any way to maintain GlobalIDs in a feature class when moving data from a feature class to a table?
