    /// and individual items that can be used in ArcGIS Pro. This method does not return all 
    /// items contained by any sub-folder that can be accessed from the folder connection.
    FolderConnectionProjectItem folderConnection = Project.Current.GetItems<FolderConnectionProjectItem>()
                                                        .FirstOrDefault((folder => folder.Name.Equals("Data")));

          using (Datastore datastore = gdbProjectItem.GetDatastore())
          {
            //Unsupported datastores (non File GDB and non Enterprise GDB) will be of type UnknownDatastore
            if (datastore is UnknownDatastore)
              continue;
    
            Geodatabase geodatabase = datastore as Geodatabase;
