We conduct periodic usability tests to evaluate the user experience of Field Maps. If you are interested in participating, please sign up now through this survey. We appreciate your valuable feedback!
Suggestions for ESRI Field Maps Improvements:
Empower administrators with enhanced control over offline maps on user devices. This includes the ability to:
Introduce driving directions and navigation capabilities within Field Maps using:
Enable Field Maps to remember user preferences for layers (turned off/on) within maps, without needing manual adjustment each time.
Optimize offline map downloading by separating imagery from vector and other data layers. Since imagery typically remains static, users should not be required to download it multiple times unnecessarily as devices are not always accessible to sideload imagery.
@LaurenceLanglois1 if you are using AGOL (versus Portal [Enterprise]), you have to settle for your basemap being in Web Mercator Aux Sphere WGS1984 (EPSG: 3857). Your feature layer (vector data) can be published in whatever coordinate system/datum that you want. You just need to be sure to add a profile in fieldmaps if you are using a high accuracy receiver to transform INTO WGS1984 Aux Sphere.
+1 (or +1000) for multiselect list support and managing lists with CSV (possibly using linked content similar to Survey123 if that is easier to implement.) Having a CSV or other file that can be used for a domain that links at the layer/table level would be great. That way, you're only managing the linked content (through the layer/table) or through the app (if it's being used as a resource.) Basically, have linked content in a JSON in the resource tab or allow for linked content to CSV files within the layers/tables (within a service) itself.
As far as the testing, I could not put spaces in certain commentary text boxes. Had to use underscores. I had to switch to my personal computer to install the extension, which would be the case in lots of work environments. It would have been nice to have known in advance that we would have to sign into our own organization. Should probably have a test org with test content and add users to the test org for this type of testing. Made me a bit uncomfortable, but I thankfully had a test service which was perfect for this testing. I think a bit more info on the setup in advance would have been helpful.
Finally, as far as the content of the test is concerned...
Switching between Field Maps Designer and Web Map Viewer still seems a bit disjointed to me. It seems intuitive that I should be able to group and reorder layers within FM Designer instead of having to use the embedded Web Map Viewer. Interface is okay there, just seems as if you should be able to reorder in FM Designer proper.
Finally, grouping/ungrouping should allow for multiselect of layers to group/ungroup or drag similar to other products. Perhaps, I was doing that wrong, but shift-clicking seemed like it should work there, and it did not.

- Appreciate the opportunity to test this. Hope this feedback helps.
Thank you.

Please add hosted list options! I would rather not click and drag the same list for a drop down over 60 different combo boxes!

Also, I have an issue setting the base map I use in field Maps to the projection I want to use. I cant see how to change it.
Multiple choice options in Field Maps would be very beneficial! 😀

Field Maps usability,
How about this idea and enhancement request? ENH-000140091
https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-ideas/measure-the-orthometric-height-in-field-maps/idi-p/1058895#comments
I see this idea changed to "In Production Plan" 07-24-2021.
When will we see it in production and without work-rounds like arcade, export/import, addxy, etc.?
ENH-000140091
To help prioritize this real-time orthometric height issue, please contact your Esri Support and reference this Esri Enhancement to tell them to include you in their "Subscribed" list for this enhancement:
Provide the possibility to measure and save orthometric height values when saving points to a web feature layer using Field maps app and GNSS antenna.
