I have a targets file that i was using on a net452 class library. After converting the classlib to netstandard20, the Target in my targets file wasn't being applied.

This is my targets file:

<Project> <ItemGroup> <AvailableItemName Include="CustomContent" /> </ItemGroup> <ItemGroup> <None Remove="src\*.json" /> </ItemGroup> <ItemGroup> <CustomContent Include="src\*.json" > <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory> </CustomContent> </ItemGroup> <PropertyGroup> <AssignTargetPathsDependsOn> $(AssignTargetPathsDependsOn); IncludeCustomContent; </AssignTargetPathsDependsOn> </PropertyGroup> <Target Name="IncludeCustomContent"> <CreateItem Include="@(CustomContent)" AdditionalMetadata="TargetPath=$(AssemblyName)\%(relativedir)%(Filename)%(Extension)"> <Output ItemName="ContentWithTargetPath" TaskParameter="Include" /> </CreateItem> </Target> </Project>

This targets file is imported into my netstandard20 classlib.

I ran dotnet build -v d > d_log.txt and it's output suggested:
Property reassignment: $(AssignTargetPathsDependsOn)="" (previous value: "IncludeCustomContent").

Seems like it's being overridden by the default value in Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets

1. Has something changed in this sdk?
2. I noticed that the AvailableItemName value doesn't show up on the "Build Action" dropdownlist in the file property dialog (for a netstandard project) in VS (15.3.2). Is AvailableItemName still supported?
3. The .json files disappear from the project's solution explorer when using <CustomContent Include="src\*.json" >. When i use <Content Include="src\*.json" > they show up again. Is this intentional?

Note, i also tried this with Content instead of CustomContent and, although it showed up in the solution explorer, it still didn't work (my IncludeCustomContent Target was not ran)
