How to add a custom property to Create/Edit Roles modal in Angular? #8520

We've used the provided documentation in order to add a new property to the IdentityRole entity:

*Project.Domain.Shared/ProjectModuleExtensionConfigurator.cs*

public static class ProjectModuleExtensionConfigurator
{
    private static readonly OneTimeRunner OneTimeRunner = new OneTimeRunner();

    public static void Configure()
    {
        OneTimeRunner.Run(() =>
        {
            ConfigureExistingProperties();
            ConfigureExtraProperties();
        });
    }

    private static void ConfigureExistingProperties()
    {
        
    }

    private static void ConfigureExtraProperties()
    {
        /* https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Module-Entity-Extensions */

        ObjectExtensionManager.Instance.Modules().ConfigureIdentity(identity =>
        {
            identity.ConfigureRole(role =>
            {
                role.AddOrUpdateProperty<bool>(
                    RoleConsts.IsGlobalPropertyName,
                    options =>
                    {
                        options.Attributes.Add(new RequiredAttribute());
                        options.Attributes.Add(new DefaultValueAttribute(false));
                    });
            });
        });
    }
}

What we've found is that this adds a new column to the Roles table in the angular front end, but does not add the field to the create/edit Role modals. Digging some more, we found the documentation for Dynamic Form Extensions, and configured this for Roles:

*/src/app/core/prop-contributors.ts*

import { eIdentityComponents, IdentityCreateFormPropContributors, IdentityEditFormPropContributors  } from '@volo/abp.ng.identity';
import { ePropType, FormProp, FormPropList } from '@abp/ng.components/extensible';
import { IdentityRoleDto } from '@volo/abp.ng.identity/proxy';

const isGlobalProp = new FormProp<IdentityRoleDto>({
    type: ePropType.Boolean,
    name: 'isGlobal',
    displayName: 'Is Global',
    validators: () => [],
});

export function isGlobalPropContributor(propList: FormPropList<IdentityRoleDto>) {
    propList.addByIndex(isGlobalProp, 1);
}

export const roleCreateFormPropContributors: IdentityCreateFormPropContributors = {
    // enum indicates the page to add contributors to
    [eIdentityComponents.Roles]: [
        isGlobalPropContributor,
        // You can add more contributors here
    ]
};

export const roleEditFormPropContributors: IdentityEditFormPropContributors = {
    // enum indicates the page to add contributors to
    [eIdentityComponents.Roles]: [
        isGlobalPropContributor,
        // You can add more contributors here
    ]
};

*/src/app/app-routing.module.ts*

// ...
{
    path: 'identity',
    loadChildren: () => import('@volo/abp.ng.identity').then(m => m.IdentityModule.forLazy({
      createFormPropContributors: roleCreateFormPropContributors,
      editFormPropContributors: roleEditFormPropContributors
    })),
  },
// ...

Despite this, no new field is appearing on the Create/Edit Role modals.

We also considered/tried to replace the RoleComponent using component replacement, but this would require us to completely rewrite the role component and it's associated behaviour (CRUD, claims, permissions, move users, etc), which we do not want to do.

How can we achieve our goal of managing this new property within the Roles modal?
