What’s the hold-up on this? I’m facing this issue as well and would like to see it fixed.

[meeroslav]

Thank you for the fix @alonronin!

[Bonscho]

Please excuse my impatience. When will the fix be available with nx migrate? We are urgently waiting for this one … 

[JamesHenry]

@Bonscho it’s already available on next, which is currently 18.1.0-beta.4

18.1.1 will be released today or tomorrow most likely as well
