Idea: Allow Symbology from two fields (when one or both are non-numeric)

Please add the ability to use multiple field symbology in web map viewer.

Currently, if you want to use two (or more) fields for your symbology, one has to be text and any other numeric. 

The only two workarounds are

1. To create an arcade expression that returns a numeric value, thus changing the size of the point. (color from text and size from number)

2. make a map in ArcGIS Pro using two fields and upload it as a web map. Using this method will NOT let you later change symbology in AGOL and any changes would need to be overwritten

The current way of using two-field symbology and the workarounds limit the way we can use symbology online.

I had a great field map app that I created using map viewer classic in 2022 that used two part symbology. It worked great until recently.

Now I can't use two part symbology anymore and it is very sad. Please make two part symbology using text fields work.

Here is a link to my post:

I need this for cemetery data. I need to symbolize on status (sold, occupied, available etc.) & burial type (hatched line for cremation, solid color of status for traditional)

I have the need for this often. And, the 'workarounds' can be very time-consuming.

IE: A water hydrant that is rated poorly (hydrant symbol with a red or yellow circle around it) or a building inspection symbolized by both type and status (to show what ones are ready to be inspected). 

We used to be able to do this and it was so helpful. Please bring back this capability.
