Elements version 11.0.0.2725

When I create a new Mercury [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Core project in Visual Studio (either 2019 or 2022), the wizard shows a Framework dropdown list

That seems weird to me, because I don’t think the classic .NET Framework really applies to an [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Core project.

It seems to happen with all 4 [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Core Mercury project templates ([ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Core MVC/Razor-based Web Application, [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Core React-based Web Application, [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Core API Application, and [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Core Empty Web Application.)

It isn’t a big deal, because I don’t think this really affects anything, but it is confusing.

Indeed, this should show the .NET Core version selector , instead…

Yes, that would be much better.
