When running the Convert Labels To Annotation geoprocessing tool, please include the option to select fields from the source feature class to the target annotation class. It is helpful to have the original fields from the source feature class in the newly created annotation class, for example, if you wanted to use a filter to reveal only certain features from the annotation class.
This can be accomplished by creating a join between the FeatureID field in the annotation class and the OBJECTID field in the source feature class, but this Ideas post requests to eliminate this step by adding the option in the tool dialog.
