Additional Information

This behavior is a known limitation. If the parent layer has editor tracking fields, editor tracking fields are required to be included in the view layer. To hide those fields for field workers, remove the visibility of these fields from the pop-up in the map.

Workaround

There are various ways to avoid the issue:

Use predefined offline areas from the ArcGIS Field Maps web designer or use an online map if able.
Do not remove any editor tracking fields from the view layer. Edit the view and reenable them.
- Editor tracking fields can be hidden by default by removing the fields from the layer pop-ups in Map Viewer. This makes them hidden by default in the data, forcing users to manually view them.
Users not meant to see the editor tracking fields can also be given a custom role in ArcGIS Online with the following privileges disabled:
- General: View content shared with organization.
- Administrative: View all content.
  - With these specific privileges disabled, the users will be able to submit new features in Field Maps, but they will not be able to view the data in ArcGIS Online.
Assigning the affected users an admin or custom role with all content-related privileges enabled will cause the issue to be non-reproducible.
- If a user has all privileges except the two viewing privileges mentioned above, they should be able to avoid the issue and collect points in ArcGIS Field Maps without being able to view the sensitive data in ArcGIS Online.
