Currently when creating a hosted feature layer view, it is not possible to exclude fields from the view that are set as non-nullable. It should be possible to exclude these fields from views.

The reason given in the documentation for not allowing non-nullable fields to be disabled is that these may be needed for editing. However, this is only true if the view is intended to be used for editing.

For example, we have a layer with some fields that we absolutely want to be populated when editing, so we set these fields to be non-nullable. These fields may contain sensitive/personal information and for GDPR purposes, we do not want all viewers of this data to see or have access to the contents of these fields. We should be able to create a hosted feature layer view that is not editable and that excludes these fields.
