Option to hide shape length display when collecting and displaying line features

I'd love to be able to turn off the automatic display of shape length in the pop-up for a line feature.

We use line features to represent the hand-measured distance of a tie line from a known point to a buried gas facility. For example, we often measure from a house corner to a pipe junction or valve. 

The lines we draw or collect by GNSS are often a foot or more different from the measured tie length.

When the feature's length is displayed in the pop-up alongside the measured length, people are often confused as to which is which. In extreme cases, the tie length has not been measured because a user sees that a length is already recorded.

I was expecting to find a setting in the popup configuration to disable this, but it doesn't seem to exist.

I am on Field Maps Version 23.1.0 Build 984, using AGOL-hosted web maps.

Happy to answer questions or discuss other options to avoid this.

Thank you,

Additionally, I think it would be useful to have some more configuration options for that same length field. An option to write arcade expressions for that space would allow lots of options, such as viewing it in feet and inches instead of decimal feet.

Thank you,
