Support syncing services that use the new data types

Please add the ability to enable Sync for services that use the new data types date only, time only, timestamp offset, big integer, or 64-bit object IDs. Anything that we need to take offline or use with a distributed collaboration does not work if the service has any of those data types. These new data types were announced back in October 2023.

We have been avoiding using the new data types, but ArcGIS Solutions is starting to use them and it limits how we can interact with the services in those solutions.

The help documentation for ArcGIS for Portal 11.5 says "Date only, time only, and big integer field types can now be added to sync-enabled hosted feature layers." on the What's New page. We upgrade to 11.5 this past weekend and I can confirm that sync works for hosted feature services with these data types.

Can this be marked as implemented? I would delete the idea, but I cannot find a way to do so.

This works for hosted feature layers, but not yet for feature layers from a referenced geodatabase. I missed the "hosted" distinction in the What's New documentation and tried it out. Please add this functionality for feature layers referenced from an enterprise geodatabase!
