Switch Esri Geodatabase Reader/Writer from traditional Versioning to Branch Versioning

Hello @Stefan Offermann​, your hunch was correct, I think there may be a little more too it unfortunately! If I remember correctly Branch versioning is generally toggled on the SDE connection file, but this is only really supported for feature layers (as far as we're aware of). because Branch versioned data can only be edited through a feature service, if you'd like to use Branch versioning, you'd need to publish the feature classes to portal, and use the portal reader/writer. For more information on Branch versioning please see: Branch Versoining Scenarios. Hope this helps, Kailin!

Hi, I had the same experience as ​@offermann82 , a direct connect (versioned edit transaction) via .sde file to a branch versioned feature class seems to correctly handle the insert-only transaction model.  However the only supported (by Esri) workflow is to use services-based editing.
