Description

I'm getting a post conversion error when attempting to open up the attribute table in ArcPro

Could not load data from the data source. If you can correct the problem, press the refresh button to reload data. A column was specified that does not exist

I know this is post conversion but has anybody experienced this? The feature draws and the data associated even displays when you click as a popup in ArcPro. I attempted to remove unique identifier fields from the properties before exporting but the issue still stands.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the post-conversion failure described in issue #91 when opening the attribute table in ArcPro, using the same kind of shapefile output. Compare the exported columns with the fields ArcPro expects, including behavior after removing unique identifier fields. Done means the converted feature still draws and its attribute table opens without the missing-column error.
