Issue Description

I'm using the following task:

- task: UseDotNet@2
  displayName: "Install .NET SDK"
    inputs:
      packageType: sdk
      useGlobalJson: true

with the following global.json

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "8.0.301",
    "rollForward": "latestFeature"
  }
}

latestFeature should install the latest feature band version, meaning 8.0.xxx. At the time of writing, this is 8.0.302.

However, it installs 8.0.301, which is not desired. I am using latestFeature to ensure I always get the latest feature bands and security patches.

I've also posted a question on StackOverflow to get some more assistance: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78667998/why-is-azure-pipelines-installing-the-wrong-net-sdk-version-according-to-globa

sander1095 commented 2 months ago

The SO post has been answered. Apparently ,the .NET install task just installs the version specified and doesn't care about the rollForward. I feel like this could be improved, though
