Field Maps: Symbolizing multiple layers from a single feature class while offline.

Attempting to leverage Field Maps for offline use. In Arc Pro I often copy a feature and symbolize multiple ways. In a prior attempt at an offline Field Map I found out that these feature copies resulted in sync errors when trying to resolve edits. After doing some research I had hoped that joined views would work to be able to edit one table and symbolize other features from the one table, but now I just read that likely doesn't work offline.

My question is if I make offline edits in my input table then sync when back online will those edits be pushed to the joined views so it at least updates for the next time i am in the field offline?

If I'm not misunderstanding you, I would say yes, as long as the edit has a unique identifier that relates in one way or another to rest of the data, and that data being viewed is also updated.

Offline maps can't have multiples of the same feature because of the necessity to keep up with one-to-one changes in the data. So if, in our case, we have a related table record that is created for a point feature, that record will be available after syncing, which should allow the point feature data itself to fall into the symbology characteristics that are setup.

Hope that helps.

@JonHoch Is your table a standalone table or is it part of your joined views? Also, here is some additional information of prepping data/maps for offline use: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/field-maps/latest/prepare-maps/configure-the-map.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_1822CD8DD1E74F08BC4308E03A5677F1
