Set build action of a file in solution explorer

Type: Feature Request

In visual studio for Windows I can set build action of any file from the properties window. I didn't find a way to set the build action in Visual Studio code.

@HobDev : Thanks for sharing your feedback. Just to clarify, could you please share a little more about your scenario and the kind of build actions you need?

To read app configuration one can add appsettings.json file to the project as EmbeddedResource build action. The build action of Images is set to Maui Image by default. But if I add the image in a different folder I need to set the build action.

@AbhitejJohn Can we have an option to set the build action of a file in C# Dev kit? Similar as Visual Studio

Is there any other way to set build action on the file in the solution explorer. I am getting run time error because the json file is null and as far as I know it is due to proper build action is not set. My development of the app is stopped due to this bug.
