It would help to be able to collect nested features, particularly points while collecting a line or polygon. For example, while collecting a pipeline linear feature, one should be able to jump out and collect a valve point location while collecting the pipeline linearly and then continue collecting the pipeline as a line.

Bonus - add these points in as a related table item or connect them with a globalid to relate the valve to the pipeline.

@AlfredBaldenweckWould be nice options too. Not what I meant (I want to be able to collect a point along a line where I would see fit, not predetermined), but definitly good additions.

Has nested collection been implemented yet? We and many other conservation organizations would greatly appreciate this functionality.

My organization and many of our partners survey and control invasive species. Our field crew needs a tracklog to show where we've surveyed while we are surveying to ensure complete surveys of our areas. Starting and stopping a line feature while taking a point is not practical especially during our aerial surveys which operate at a very quick pace. Our work is very map centric and all over our county so it  requires sideloading our basemap (also slow internet) to use offline.
