Only seems to pick up custom data paths defined in 'settings.json' rather than 'code-workspace' files

Description
Not sure if this is the correct location to place this, saw another user was directed here after submitting their issue directly to VSCode repo.
Essentially right now the 'customData' fields defined in VSCode are ignored when used inside a <workspace-name>.code-workspace file under the settings property however it does work when creating a .vscode/settings.json file.
This is somewhat confusing as the documentation states specifically it only currently works in workspace settings and I would expect the code-workspace files to be supported.
VSCode Version: 1.45.1

Research direction
Reproduce the issue using customData in a .code-workspace file under settings, then compare it with the working .vscode/settings.json case in VS Code 1.45.1. Trace how each workspace-settings form is read and verify that customData is recognized in both formats without changing the documented behavior.
