[Feature]: Support overriding centrally managed version on a package reference #9465
Description
Details about Problem
Feature request
CPVM support version overrides.
Version overrides are supported as a product of MsBuild flexibility.
Option 1: use the Import MsBuild element but there is not a build in experience for the version overrides.
<Project>
<ItemGroup>
<PackageVersion Include="Xunit.StaFact.Mac" Version="1.0.24-beta-g88c3555268"/>
<PackageVersion Include="xunit.stafact" Version="1.0.24-beta-g88c3555268"/>
</ItemGroup>
<Import Project="$([MSBuild]::GetDirectoryNameOfFileAbove($(MSBuildThisFileDirectory).., Directory.Packages.props))\Directory.Packages.props" Condition="'$([MSBuild]::GetDirectoryNameOfFileAbove($(MSBuildThisFileDirectory).., Directory.Packages.props))' != ''" />
</Project>
Option 2 : use the MsBuild Update as :
<PackageVersion Update="Foo" Version="1.2.3"/>
Option 3: use the MsBuild Conditions as :
Directory.Packages.Props
<Project>
<ItemGroup Condition="'$(Group)'=='Test'">
<PackageVersion Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="12.0.2" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<PackageVersion Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="12.0.3" />
<PackageVersion Include="EntityFramework" Version="6.2.0" />
<PackageVersion Include="ParentLibTestCM1" Version="3.0.0" />
<PackageVersion Include="LibTestCM1" Version="3.0.0" />
<PackageVersion Include="NUnit" Version="3.12.0" />
<PackageVersion Include="Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Common" Version="11.1.2" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>
