Field Maps downloads entire table rather than just those related to features in the download area

Hi, I noticed recently that some of my map downloads were particularly large (over 1GB) despite only downloading a small area with no data in the defined area. In this case my feature service is used across multiple projects and includes a table with attachments as the original layer was generated in Survey123. I downloaded the .geodatabase file generated and when looking at it spotted that the database included the table with all the records (and attachments) for the entire dataset. This table is related to my point layer so as my area contained no point features I would have expected no table records either. I assume this is the current design but it would be helpful if Field Maps only downloaded the table records that are related to those downloaded in the map. Is this something that is currently possible?

I'm aware that I can turn off attachment downloads for layers/tables but the options are either to turn off attachments for all editable layers and/or all non-editable layers. It would be great if this was more nuanced and allowed you to turn off attachments for particular layers. However, ideally it would be preferable if Field Maps only downloaded the relevant table records and not all.

Any advice to just check if I'm missing something on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Anthony
