Global [VB Defaults] settings won't be applied to newly created VB.Net [.Net Core 3] console applications

It looks like [VB Defaults] project settings from Visual Studio 2019 (ver 16.3.6) isn't applied to newly created .Net Core 3 VB.Net console applications.

Expected results: whenever [VB Defaults] is changed, these new settings will be applied to every newly created VB console project using .Net Core 3.

Actual results: After changing VB Defaults settings and trying to create a new VB Console application, it won't inherit the new global settings from [VB Defaults].

Steps to reproduce:

1. Update VS 2019 to the latest version: 16.3.6 ( .NET Core 3.0 SDK is installed automatically -
version below)

2. Create a Console App (.Net Core) (Visual Basic) from Visual Studio:

3. Go to Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > VB Defaults:

- Set the following values:
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On
Option Infer Off

- Ok to close. Save All changes

4. Create a new Console App (.Net Core) (Visual Basic) and open it. Then, create an Integer variable and assign the string value "2" to it

5. Check VB Default settings again


Notice in the screenshot above that the Option Strict On option was not applied to the project - implicit conversion from String to Integer is Enabled - showing that Option Strict is still Off.

However, when trying to create a new Project/Solution using .Net Framework 4.7.2, everything works normally:

7. Create a new Console App (.Net Framework 4.7.2) (Visual Basic)

8. Check VB Defaults settings


Notice the VS returns an error message after I assign the string "2" to an Integer variable, showing that the Option Strict On from "VB Defaults" project settings were really applied to the .Net Framework 4.7.2 VB console solution.
