Additional Information

This is expected behavior when publishing non-nullable fields without default values from ArcGIS Pro. For text fields, a blank space (" ") is automatically added as a default value for the feature template. The same applies to numerical fields, where a 0 is automatically added. As a result, because the coded value domain applied to these fields does not include a 0 or a blank space (" "), those values are presented in a combo box in the form in ArcGIS Field Maps. Therefore, this behavior is expected in ArcGIS Field Maps. Refer to the workaround for more information on how to update the feature templates in the feature service to remove these " " and 0 values.

Workaround

Update the default values for the template(s) through the ArcGIS Server Administrator REST API for the hosted feature service. Perform an updateDefinition operation to change the blank space (" ") and 0 values to null within the templates for fields that are non-nullable. This allows the radio buttons to display as expected in ArcGIS Field Maps.
