I have a Polygon FC that is in WGS 84, I want to calculate the centroid of the polygon in the respective state plane's northing/easting whenever I draw a new polygon. 

Note: The polygons in the image attached are just for show and the polygons would never overlap state planes zones.

Is there a way to automatically do this using attribute rules maybe based off of a field so if I draw a polygon in VA North it auto-populates a state plane field and then gives me the Northing and Easting of said polygon. 

I've used the calculate geometry attributes tool before but I need this to be more programmatic and happen automatically when a new polygon is created.

Any ideas?

I don't think it's possible right now? Currently you could calculate the centroid as an attribute rule, but only in the native projection.

There is an idea currently open that would help with that functionality: Project as Geometry function

Give it an upvote and hopefully we'll get in a few releases.
