Are there any plans to capture elevations in future releases of Collector?

Hey Chris,
Yes. With the Aurora Project we are adding support for capturing Z values directly into a z-enabled geometry. With the initial release, the elevation values will be MSL but as the capability comes to our underlying runtime, we will be adding vertical transformations within the location profile settings so that we can store HAE values.
The first release of Collector (Aurora) will be in Q3 on the iOS platform and Q4 on the Android platform.
Thanks,
Jeff

I'm currently using the Aurora beta. Can you elaborate on current and planned functionality for elevation capture and vertical transformation? I'm specifically interested in what is required for this in the feature service set-up, and how that is different than the classic Collector.
Thanks,

Jeff,
Any word on adding support for capturing Z values directly into a z-enabled geometry? Collector is working great but the need to perform post transformations on the GPS metadata to get true 3D data points can be problematic. It would also be great to see the actual elevation in the field rather then the HAE data. We are using a Leica GG04+ with RTK.

I never got a reply from ESRI, but this is possible now (with certain GNSS receivers?). We've used these procedures with our EOS Arrow receivers:
