Do you mean something like this?

with(plots):with(VectorCalculus):with(plottools):

SetCoordinates(cartesian[r,phi,z]):

fld := VectorField(Vector([r,z,phi])):

F:=fieldplot3d(fld,0..1,0..2*Pi,0..1,
               lightmodel=light2,axis[3]=[location=origin],
               axes=normal,thickness=2):

display(changecoords(F,cylindrical),
        transform((x,y)->[x,y,0])(coordplot(polar,labelling=true,
                                            scaling=constrained)));

I guess that the axis[3]=[location=origin] option is not necessary there, although it can make a contribution to this (which doesn't seem to be the coordinate system you want):

restart:
with(plots):with(VectorCalculus):with(plottools):
SetCoordinates(cylindrical[r,phi,z]):
fld := VectorField(Vector([r,z,phi])):
fieldplot3d(fld,0..1,0..2*Pi,0..1,
               lightmodel=light2,axis[3]=[location=origin],
               axes=normal,thickness=2);

Looks nice!

That helped alot already. Now I understand the command "transform". One can even add one polar on the top of the cylinder. like:

display(transform((x,y)->[x,y,0])(coordplot(polar)),transform((x,y)->[x,y,-3])(coordplot(polar)));

Looks nice!
