Allow labels to be toggled on or off from Field Maps app

It would be helpful if the Field Maps application allowed someone to turn labels on or off for a layer where labels have been configured. There are times it is helpful for a layer to be labeled on our field maps, but having it labeled all the time is not practical or helpful. A simple toggle from the app would be nice.

Not ideal, but a workaround that may work depending on your situation is a duplicate of the layer - one with labels on and the other off. You can then turn them on and off as required in the map layers list.

We have the same issue with our field app, with not being able to turn off labels. Especially when the user is zooming out, the labels covers all the data points. Our only workaround so far is to only have labels shown at a certain large scale zoom interval.

I cannot advice to try having duplicate layers, especially if its the ones used for data collection, as this will break the app. Also, Field Maps does not support offline use for maps with duplicate layers Configure the map—ArcGIS Field Maps | Documentation, so just be aware of that.

@cbp-geus yep - all very good points. To make it work offline you would need to create 2 different hosted views of the layer, not just duplicate the layer in the map. Scale intervals can certainly be beneficial to reduce that clutter as you zoom out.
