When creating a new hosted feature layer using the New Item->Feature Layer->From Template is it possible to change the default coordinate system from Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere to a local projection?

I know that takes a performance hit when shown on Esri's basemaps, but for a lot of our data needs Web Mercator is not a great choice. Is there a way to change the default coordinate system when creating new feature services in ArcGIS Portal?

If you use a template, it will always default to Web Mercator. If you create a blank hosted feature service that you upload in the coordinate system of your choice, then you can create the new services off of that one.
