From FME 2019.0 there is a parameter in the Esri SDE Geodatabase Writer for preserving Global IDs. It would be very handy to have the same feature for the Esri File Geodatabase Writer
Released

There is already an idea similar to this which was marked as released when support for Global IDs in SDE was added: https://community.safe.com/s/idea/0874Q000000TknGQAS/detail

Has this update really taken effect? How do users retrospectively upgrade the Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb) writer parameters in order to see the "Preserve Global ID" Yes\\No option? I'm not seeing it in my FME Workbench version 2020.2?

@lizatsafe I'm beta testing this functionality on build 23215, and it does not seem to work for me. I've made a post on the forums with my workspace and test data. Beta testing FGDB GlobalID preservation (safe.com)

Hi @dustin Thanks for testing this out on a beta. I've passed along your workspace and question, and someone in Support should reach out to you shortly with more information.
