How can I convert Polygons (w one to many attachments) into a Point layer and still maintain attachments with the points?

[TanyaBagley-Online]

I have an AGOL hosted feature service that contains close to 70,000 polygons and over 9,000 images attached to some of the polygons. Some polygons have up to 5 images attached to it. 

I need to convert these polygons into a POINT layer but still maintain ALL of the images to that point.

I was able to create a replica of the hosted polygon feature service and downloaded it as a FGDB and it kept all of the attachments but now when I create a point layer from the polygon layer, it losses its attachments. 

I have tried trouble shooting and researching this but I can't seem to get it to work with the blogs I found.

Has anyone done this before? Made a polygon layer into a point layer and kept ALL it's attachments, then republish the new point back out to a hosted feature service?

I would appreciate any assistance with this workflow if it can be done.?

Thanks,

Tanya

The only way I can think of is the really painful one of exporting all the images and reattaching them to the Point FC.

I've seen this thread and was trying to work through the work flow but I have not been able to successfully complete it this way. I don't know what I am missing and I have had a ticket into esri since last week and they still have not gotten back to me with any help on this...? So I started researching it again on my own. 

They're just has to be an easier way to do this... ugh...

Thanks for the reply,
