Freehand drawing and generally increased line/polygon editing capabilities (split line, snapping, reshape line, reverse direction) would be an immense improvement for the geologic mapping community as well as other users.
We would like to be able to digitize a line, with or without a stylus, as is done with the Markup tool but would like that feature to be stored in a feature service where we can control the attributes and symbology of the line/polygon.
The markup tool draws the way we would like to collect lines, but does not quite cut it because of the way those features are stored, the lack of custom symbology, and the lack of custom attribute fields.
There was a similar forum on this topic in Collector threads that had some steam, but I'm assuming Esri isn't paying attention to those collector threads any more, so I'm reposting here.
