Quick and easy question I hope: does FME 2024.2 support the new ArcGIS Online data types (Date Only, Time Only, Timestap Offset and Big Integer) as described here: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/mapping/time-is-on-your-side-with-new-field-types-in-arcgis-online/

I’ve used the time only and date only fields in FME 2023.2 as well.

Just make sure the arcgis running on your PC complies.

Thanks ​@nielsgerrits and ​@jobvdnoort. Sounds like it’ll also differ per (writer) format.

Don’t use them! It will only be the start of your troubles. Relates cannot use BigInteger keys. Many other Esri tools will fail with these new datatypes.

That's good to know, this is a question coming from one of our clients, I'll pass this on.
