Export Features results in consolidation to single location

Since updating ArcGIS Pro to version 3.4.0, when I attempt to export a selection of points collected with Field Maps in an ArcGIS Online hosted feature layer to a file geodatabase feature class, all of the exported points are moved to a single location (the location of one of the exported points).  This occurs with both a right-click on the layer name (with Data: Export Features), and also with starting directly from the Export Features geoprocessing tool. The attributes appear to export correctly - it is simply the location of the point that gets modified.

I have been using this workflow frequently in the past (exporting a subset of collected points to a project-specific geodatabase), and the points always exported to the correct location, even if specifying a new coordinate system. This "consolidation" did not occur until I performed the v3.4.0 update. (The display cache was cleared as a troubleshooting step, but had no impact on the error.)

When I tested this with other ArcGIS Online point data that was NOT populated using Field Maps, the points exported correctly. Likewise, when exporting selected points from a local source (file geodatabase), the points also exported correctly. Performing the operation on a workstation with version 3.3.1 did NOT have the same issue - the various points were exported to their proper locations.

Has anyone else encountered this potential bug?

It sounds like a bug has been logged (BUG-000172816) and is being reviewed by Esri. A temporary workaround seems to involve disabling the export of attachments in the feature layer (Environments / uncheck Maintain Attachments).

Hopefully a 3.4.1 patch will be issued soon, since this is an important part of my workflow.

Hi @JasonWeis_Westwood, we appreciate you sharing a potential bug with the broader Esri Community; however, Esri does not actively track software defects posted here. The official channel for investigating and validating bugs is Esri Technical Support. All customers experiencing a potential software bug should leverage technical support to report and investigate the issue.

By reporting bugs through technical support, Esri can better track the scope and impact of the issue across all our customers and better prioritize it with our product teams. Our teams can also investigate the issue more thoroughly to see if there is a solution, workaround, or patch to get you back up and running as soon as possible.

As a reminder, Esri Community is primarily a self-service support platform where Esri users can ask or answer each other’s questions, share feature requests, and collaborate to solve problems with GIS.

Also experiencing the same issue, as are three other people in my workplace, hopefully they fix this soon as it is annoying.

I don't have "bug reporting rights" in my organization, so I can't report it directly to Esri. If anyone else experiencing this issue has the capability to submit a ticket, it might be worth letting Esri know about it, since it doesn't seem to be an isolated incident.

Dealing with this same bug right now. Trying to back up points and they are all stacked in one location.

I was lucky enough to have a server machine with a prior version of Pro and everything worked fine. I was pulling data which did have attachments so the work around wouldn't have been helpful in my case, but good to know its an option. Thanks for that update!
