Hi George,
Just for information - I'm using SSMA version 10.2
The work arounds are fine for smaller projects but on a large migration would be a massive extra workload, especially if you were frequently replacing the data from a live environment during development, assuming you couldn't change the data types in the live system.

I have the same version.
I opened an issue for this missing datatype in the SSMA GitHub, using the Feedback option under Help in SSMA.

Perhaps you can add a comment documenting the hurdles you face because of this ommission. I can see how this will become an even bigger issue as more people adopt the DateTimeExtended option.
