I'm trying to reduce the amount of data that needs to be downloaded by the field crews, while not deleting data that is useful to those in the office.
If a field maps only shows certain fields in the popup, is the remaining data still loaded in the background? It seems like it would be a waste to load it when that particular map doesn't allow them to view it.
if not, is there another way to prevent certain fields from loading?

Not 100% if Field Maps allows this but worth a look.
To make sure I'm understand what you're asking, you just want to restrict what is visible to Field Workers when they're adding/editing data without removing the actual data fields from the dataset?
