Create Feature-Linked Annotation from Point Feature Class

Question

I have a point feature class A and another point feature class with text field B. Both feature classes can be joined by common field XFM_ID. How can I create a feature-linked annotation class C from feature class B so the annotations are linked to feature class A?

Thanks for your help. But I wants to align the exported annotations to points in feature class B. How can I shift the position of annotations in python script?

Hi!

I tried the operation manually in ArcGIS PRO using convert labels to annotation. The task fails to create feature-linked annotation with fail 002635 (https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.8/tool-reference/tool-errors-and-warnings/001001-010000/tool-errors-and-warnings-02626-02650-002635.htm). The annotation is created, but is not feature-linked. Is it possible for you to join field first and then create the annotation?

Maybe you can update the "joined filed" via database trigger or some kind of attribution rule?
