Hi,

Project (Data Management) tool overwrites the editor tracking data in the date fields at the destination. It overwrites the data in the Created Date Field and Edit Date Field to the time of tool execution.

Any suggestions please

ArcGIS Pro 3.2/3.3/3.4

Thanks

hi @User35487 before you project your data turn off editor tracker. this will preserve your attributes as you wish, then you can turn it back on once the data has been projected.

Enable editor tracking—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

Project ... is producing a new featureclass.  Are you expecting the new file to contain the information from the old one? (it is enabled in the project backstage, I presume)

Thanks for your input @DanPatterson
In our case, we need to have the same dates for the projected one, as the original one. I wonder if the dates can be preserved, by any chance.
