I asked the esri field maps team of any plans for this at Esri UC 2024, they said it wasn't on the roadmap. We (distributor) ended up developing a custom search API that could be consumed by ArcGIS Enterprise and Field Maps to solve the requirement.</P> Thu, 26 Mar 2026 16:13:38 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-ideas/support-for-multiple-locators-in-field-maps/idc-p/1692861#M4534 YngveBråthen 2026-03-26T16:13:38Z
