Dependent Fields and Lists

Can I create a dependent field in ArcGIS Field Maps?

Example:
I have two fields in my form: Main Category and Sub-Category. Both fields contain domains/lists.

Main CategoryPavementBarrierBridge
Sub-CategoriesPotholeGuardrailJoin
CrackingCable RailRail
SlabConcrete Rail 


I'd like the Sub-Category list to change based on what the user selects in the Main Category field.

What I'm trying to get at is, when a user selects "Pavement" from a dropdown, the sub-category field will show only the sub-categories that apply to "Pavement".

Any advice? Also, I'm not really good with coding so I prefer an option that does not include writing code.

I'm using ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3

Hey @doronwen 

It appears that this has been in the works for quite a while, but I so far have not been able to get it to work on my side. To get around this, I created multiple columns with different lists, those columns conditionally appear based on the previous selection. Here is a link that details the upcoming release, but this was unfortunately 4 years ago: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-questions/conditional-field-list/td-p/1033625

I would suggest possibly creating Field Map Idea and suggesting this be added!

Thanks @CodyPatterson 
I know Survey123 have the option - conditional lists - and I even used it in the past. But I was hoping this feature would exist in Field Maps as well.
