❔ Managing `global.json` with JebBrains Rider?

I'm trying to get it to follow/manage a global.json file at the root of my solution but I can't get it to work and something seems broken. I have the following SDKs installed on my computer:

❯ dotnet --list-sdks          
6.0.100-preview.7.21379.14 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk]
6.0.100-rc.1.21458.32 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk]
6.0.100-rc.2.21505.57 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk]
6.0.100 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk]
6.0.200 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk]
6.0.300 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk]
6.0.302 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk]
6.0.400 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk]
6.0.401 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk]
6.0.405 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk]
7.0.100 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk]
7.0.102 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk]

When I right click my solution in rider and hit the manage .NET SDK option, I only get these options:

The dropdown only has "6.0" and "7.0" and selecting either of them and any roll-forward policy doesn't create a global.json or modify an existing one.

my first advice here is to uninstall all your installed SDK but 2

Ttebeco1/25/2023

keep tje lastest 6.0.x and 7.0.x

Ttebeco1/25/2023

so only

6.0.405 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk]
7.0.102 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk]

if you had "actual preview/rc" I would tell you to keep them too but you don't have any

Ttebeco1/25/2023

the only alpha/preiew/rc that exists today are from the 8.0.x

you'll save about 2 GByte doing that cleanup

When I right click my solution in rider and hit the manage .NET SDK option, I only get these options:

well your screen is not showing much

Ttebeco1/25/2023

it's showing 2 combo and a checkbox

which are the thing global.json CAN have
