After updating ArcGIS Pro to version 3.4.0, when I attempt to export a selection of points collected with Field Maps to a file geodatabase feature class, all of the exported points show up in a single location (the location of one of the selected 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 other attributes appear to maintain their original values - it is simply the location 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 locations, even if specifying a new coordinate system. I did not notice this "consolidation" until last week, which just happened to coincide with my v3.4.0 update. (I did clear my display cache as a preliminary troubleshooting step.)

When I tested this with other 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.

I attempted this on a workstation that was still running version 3.3.1, and the points exported correctly, so it appears to be related to version 3.4.0. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

UPDATE:  The Field Maps points are stored on an AGOL hosted feature layer, not an enterprise system. The issue persists, but please disregard this question in the Enterprise forum.

Hi.

Did you figure out a solution to this problem? I just had the same issue happen when attempting to create a backup copy of an online layer to a local gdb- all the points are stacked on each other.

I also posted on the ArcGIS Pro and Field Maps communities, and have received several "me too" replies on those as well (possibly including yours).  Unfortunately, there have been no solutions offered up.  Unfortunately, I do not have "bug reporting" capabilities in my organization, so I cannot submit the issue to Esri.  I believe one of the other users in another group indicated that he had submitted something, so hopefully Esri will be made aware of it.

From another post: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/problem-exporting-features-from-feature-service-t...

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.

I am adding my name here as I had the same issue happen. I tested multiple layers and it's doing the same thing, so hoping to see if there is a fix for this.
