Please make it easier to switch between portal organisations. Now you need to log off and in the worst case enter the URL and/or login info everytime you need switch portals, which is very annoying when pushing field map apps from development into production environment(s).
Please make a functionality like is present in ArcGIS Pro.
Another use case we have is needing to switch repeatedly in Fields Maps between Online and an Enterprise portal running locally on a laptop in the field. Often when reaching somewhere with connectivity, we need to work with both in short order, so time lost to signing out and back in is frustrating.
I would also like to see the connected server name exposed in the Field Maps App (maybe in the profile section). I find that I open the app for development/testing purposes and need to sign out to choose my server because I do not know which server is currently connected.

We have many users with the need to switch portals in areas with no cell reception. Perhaps being able to be signed into to multiple portals simultaneously so they can see all offline areas they've downloaded to their device at once would be another solution? This or any of the previous suggestions are better than having to return to an area with connectivity, signing out and back in, and the returning again to the area in the field.
My Team develops the S1 Mobile Mapper application for Android for the Bureau of Land Management agency and have implemented the ability for users to access any content downloaded to the device (for Field maps, i think the most important item type is the editable offline areas, but basemaps as well), no matter what organization they are currently logged into. This allows them to switch active offline areas and collect field data in both enterprise offline databases and those shared with our AGOL hosted organization as well without having to switch the org they are logged into in disconnected enviroments. The only caveat is that they obviously do need to be logged into the correct account and organization (hosted agol or enterprise portal) when they want to sync data back up where it came from.
Surprising that this basic function is lacking. Please add it ASAP!

If you plan to implement this, please do not forget Survey123 and Quick Capture! And ArcGIS Online of course!
This is another of many (in my opinion) basic features that would make using ESRI software smooth. I cannot understand why ESRI keeps ignoring the voice of their users for fundamental basics that would make using their software a great experience.
And I also cannot understand why ESRI does not Implement certain Standards throughout their software products. Like @ThijsBriggeman_Tensing stated: This is possible in ArcGIS Pro. Why is it not the standard in all Apps???
We urgently request implementing this functionality. We have 450 users dealing with this issue on a daily basis, causing great frustration in our users. Our users need to continuously switch between using their account supplied by a national organisation (ArcGIS Online), and their account from their own organisation (ArcGIS Online and/or ArcGIS Enterprise). ArcGIS Field Maps however does not support keeping multiple accounts logged in at the same time. As such, they have to repeatedly switch between their accounts. This means logging out on one account, and then logging in on the next, including Multi-factor authentication for each organisation. Particularly annoying when using a mobile device outdoors.
We have explored all currently possible scenarios to solve this issue, however none of them led to satisfying results.
Other applications like Microsoft Teams do support this feature, please include it in Field Maps as well!
