VSCode working with SharedProjects [Answered]

VSCode seems to have problems with adding files to .projitems when working with SharedProjects. Are there any work around for this? For example using Wild Cards? My current .projitems

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <MSBuildAllProjects>$(MSBuildAllProjects);$(MSBuildThisFileFullPath)</MSBuildAllProjects>
    <HasSharedItems>true</HasSharedItems>
    <SharedGUID>8EA92217-56DD-4A15-ADCF-9535B7972EEA</SharedGUID>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <PropertyGroup Label="Configuration">
    <Import_RootNamespace>SharedProject</Import_RootNamespace>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <Folder Include="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)Models" />
  </ItemGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <Compile Include="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)Localization\SharedResource.cs" />
  </ItemGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <EmbeddedResource Include="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)Localization\SharedResource.en-US.resx" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">

I would generally not advise using shared projects, for reasons like "they're not well supported by many tools and the file format is terrible" And vscode doesn't add things to project files at all. You need to do it by hand

I seem to have found a workaround in this github issue https://github.com/dotnet/project-system/issues/6010#issuecomment-687881459
