Idea: ability to filter choices from a domain on a field in Field Maps Designer

For example, we have a domain with a lot of choices that do not apply to field workers. But I do not want to delete them from the domain. I want to constrict the choices to just a few of the values in the domain.

In Field Maps Designer, I would like to see a simple filter on a field where we can choose which choices will show up in the list for users to choose from, in the field's drop-down when collecting a feature.

By the way, I love Field Maps Designer. I am aware that one can do things like Require a field on the SDE but it makes things soooo much easier and more flexible. I've come across some bugs/ design issues and undesired behavior for example when making a field required in SDE/DBMS. Great work, Field team! I hope they continue adding to Field Maps Designer / Smart Forms power. It's becoming the front end, essentially, for SDE/REST and it's highly helpful.

Sidenote: Esri team, another thought. If a field allows null values, that is not shown as a choice in the attribute dropdown in the editing popup, at least in WebApp Builder. Users can hit the Delete key and it works and it sets the attribute back to null. But it would be good to show that as an option in the menu visually; it's more discoverable, intuitive, and teachable.

I am also highly in need of this future for field workers!! I need to limit a domain where the field workers should only have two options but the rest of the surveys, maps, dashboards for the data layer need the full domain list.
