Configuring maps in the designer offers a "Collecting new features" option that changes how the app behaves when a new feature collected. I would like to see this option duplicated and tweaked for editing features as well. My org has encountered many users who edit an existing line or polygon and accidentally fat-finger a new vertex because Field Maps enables geometry editing by default, it would be great if we could disable this behavior.

Nice idea. Though you can possibly achieve this by updating the settings on a layers settings page to only allow "Add" and "Update - Attributes only". This way, if the location should never change, updates will be restricted to attribute changes only.

Normally this is our workflow, but in this case we do want users to make geometry edits from time to time. The issue is the vertex editor being active by default in all cases, when we'd prefer an "opt-in" workflow for some maps where these edits are infrequent.

Makes sense. It's always those edge cases that catch you on these things.
