We have many hundred feature classes and we discovered that some of them by mistake have the versioning setting 'move edits to base'.

Is there a way to find out which feature classes that have this setting? Maybe with SQL or python?

Microsoft SQL Server, ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8

Hello AsaBlomberg,

The best I was able to find was to use arcpy.Describe() function to return a True/False if the data is versioned or not. Unfortunately, this only returned True regardless of the versioned status (with or without the "Move-edits-to-base" option checked). See screenshot from Python window in ArcGIS Pro:

Here is the documentation for the Describe function: Describe function documentation. You could try looking through all the options to see if one would determine True/False for the "Move-edits-to-base" check box.

Cheers,

Mike
