Scaffold Not Working because `dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator.exe` uses old C# version

I need help with scaffolding identity my C# project, I get this error whenever I scaffold


D:\ProjectFolder\ClientAction(81,37): error CS1002: ; expected

and I look into the line that causes this and I found it it's caued by the new required keyword

    public class ClientAction
    {
        public required string Description { get; set; } // the required keyword causes this!
    }

    public class ClientAction
    {
        public required string Description { get; set; } // the required keyword causes this!
    }

The project builds successfully in dotnet rider, no problems at all, however when it runs dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator.exe to scaffold I get a lot of errors, I'm thinking it's caued by dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator.exe using an old c# version, currently I use .net 7.0 Now my problem is that I have around 100+ properties using required and I needed to scaffold the Identity to edit the register and login pages, how do I get around this?

If anything, it's caused by the codegenerator being newer than the version of .NET you're using That said, required is a keyword added in C# 11 Since you're using .NET 7, the project should also be on C# 11, so required should be fine Unless you did something wacky like setting the framework version to .NET 7, but the language version to C# 9 or some such
