Restrict editing to related record only; not allow adding new features to parent layer?

Hello all, 

I'm hoping this functionality is available in ArcGIS FieldMaps and I'm just missing where to configure it.

I have a 1:M feature layer between Sites and Inspections. I'm developing a map for field crews to go out and add new inspection records to sites. BUT, I cannot allow them to add/delete/update locations of sites. 

I tried restricting editing to only allow for attribute updates, but that also removes the ability to add new related records in the inspection table.

Is this workflow possible in ArcGIS FieldMaps right now? Is it on the roadmap sometime in the near future?

Thanks!

Caitlin

So there might be a few things that can be tested.

  1. Create a hosted view that is updated in field maps but has a filter set in the map to only display certain values. This should restrict the editing of the related record
  2. You can simply filter out the table values so that they are only visible in Survey123 but not in field maps
  3. Append a value to the related table such as a text field with attributes stating "survey" and have it so that it does not display in field maps when you set the visibility fields to look for fields that don't have that value.
