  Try using MerginMaps for field data collection. It uses geopackages if you use their hosted service or you can set up your own and run from a PostGIS database.

  If you're not finding the features/functionality you want in QField, check out MerginMaps as an alternative. It's fairly intuitive to use and they've added a lot of features recently.

  I suggest using Mergin Maps (https://merginmaps.com/ https://apps.apple.com/us/app/input/id1478603559) It is completely based on QGIS. Using the QGIS plugin, you can package all your layers for offline use. The benefit of Mergin Maps is that you get exactly what you see in QGIS and you can use it to collect data with other colleagues on the same project, even when offline.
