Please allow users to select a coordinate system to use when creating a new hosted feature service. Currently we are forced to use Web Mercator when creating new hosted feature layers through the web UI in ArcGIS for Portal. We deal with small local datasets and would prefer being able to use our local coordinate system when publishing new content. This way our hosted content matches our enterprise geodatabase coordinate system.

@Joshua-Young It's good idea to have an option instead of just going with defualt coordinate system.
