When I create a feature class in ArcPro and then fry to open it in ArcMap, I get a message:

Open Failed. Error opening feature class. The item does not have definition. 

I only started getting this error last week after I upgraded to Pro 3.2. Every time I had done this prior to 3.2 I had no issues with it. 

I creating a point FC from a CSV file using "XY Table to Point" in the geoprocessing toolbox. I have not changed anything in my .CSV file, and I have not changed anything in the feature dataset which houses the results. What's worse, the older FC's I have in the same FD I can add to ArcMap with no problems. 

Is this a 3.2 thing? Should I revert to an older version of Pro?
