Hello, I am using FME Form 2024.1 and have the Esri ArcGIS Connector Package (version 3.11.3). I am experiencing some weird datetime functionality. I have a Portal Feature Service Reader (old school) in my workspace and would like to upgrade it to the new ArcGIS Feature Service Reader. Setup was great and reading the data worked well, but I noticed that any datetime attributes that come through are now being read differently. 

I have attached two screenshots of two datetime attributes that are being read differently depending on their Reader. The old version looks correct, you can generally start to make out the date for a feature (20250906), but the new way of reading looks completely different.

Is there a setting I missed when setting up my new reader, or is this some new format? At first I didn’t notice this, but when I went to write the data back to Portal after passing it through my workspace, I got an error regarding these attributes (basically saying they were invalid)

DateTimeConverter also throws an error and says that the input values aren’t recognized as legit date time formatted values.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
