What is the status on this issue? It was working fine for me on .NET 7. I upgraded my project to .NET 8 and it's not working anymore. Is it plan to fix this before the official release in November? Because this is quite a base functionality.

Is there any news about this issue or a known workaround ? The problem still seems to exist in .net 8.

This isn't working in .Net 7. What's the update on the fix for this?
