I often compress file geodatabases to reduce data volume for static datasets. I am also being supplied , in ever increasing regularity datasets supplied as geopackages. When I import such data into a file geodatabase it takes on the field formats but the compression tool errors with this message:

ERROR 161003: Cannot compress ea_detailed_watersheds. Compression not supported on 64-bit object ID, big integer, date only, time only or timestamp offset fields.

So my idea is to update the compression tool to work with 64-bit object ID, big integer, date only, time only or timestamp offset fields as these will become increasingly more common.

I'm surprised that that wasn't taken care of when the new field types were introduced.
