QGIS3.28.15:Polygon Features from ArcGIS GDB Turn into TABLE after Editing in QGIS

[a1053180364]

What is the bug or the crash?

Hello, I have discovered a bug in QGIS 3.28.15. When importing POLYGON features from a GDB file created in ArcGIS into QGIS, and then editing the attributes in QGIS by adding new attribute fields, the polygon features unexpectedly become TABLE when re-importing the file back into ArcGIS.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Create a GDB file and add POLYGON in ArcGIS, then close ArcGIS.
2. Import the POLYGON into QGIS and edit the attributes by adding a new field.

3. Save the GDB file, close QGIS, and reload it in ArcGIS. Then will find that the original POLYGON have turned into TABLE.

Versions

3.28.15

Supported QGIS version

• I'm running a supported QGIS version according to the roadmap.

New profile

• I tried with a new QGIS profile

@a1053180364 Could you attach a zip with the .gdb just after you created with ArcGIS, and one after you edited it with QGIS?

Here is the attached zip file:

OK, the issue is that your QGIS version is using a GDAL version prior to GDAL 3.9.0, which was affected by a bug causing Esri software to choke on files updated by GDAL/QGIS. GDAL 3.9.1 will detect & autorepair such issues in corrupted files, with the fixes of OSGeo/gdal#10008

Your workaround for the time being is to re-open the modified file with QGIS, and use "Save vector layer as" functionality to regenerate a new clean FileGeodatabase that should read fine in Esri software . Or use the ogr2ogr command line utility, or through QGIS with the Processing toolbox / GDAL / Vector conversion / Convert format tool which is the graphical interface over ogr2ogr.

Updating to the latest QGIS LTR should also avoid that issue as I believe it ships with GDAL 3.9
