Scaffolding Bool values results in incorrect syntax on the Create and Edit models

I have found that if scaffolding a class that contains a Bool value then incorrect syntax is generated on the Create and Edit models (this issue also occurred in .Net Core 2.0):

Steps to reproduce:

public class Customer
    {
        public int CustomerID { get; set; }

        ...
        
        [Display(Name = "Can Contact?")]
        public bool CanBeContacted { get; set; }

        ...
    }

Then scaffold the class and if you try to build the project it will fail with the following error:

'EditModel' does not contain a definition for 'CanBeContacted' and no accessible extension method 'CanBeContacted' accepting a first argument of type 'EditModel' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

The workaround is to change the line in the Create/Edit model from:

<input asp-for="Customer.CanBeContacted" /> @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.CanBeContacted)

To:

<input asp-for="Customer.CanBeContacted" /> @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Customer.CanBeContacted)

After this the project builds successfully.

It’s not fixed though in the latest version from what I can tell. Looking at #709 it looks like it may have only been fixed in 2.0 with the fix not ported forward to 2.1? Are there plans to fix in 2.1 as well? It also adds an extra closing bracket which just ends up appearing as text on the page.

I do hit it every time I add a bool value and can replicate every time. Visual Studio is fully up to date.

I installed .Net Core 2.2 last night and see the same issue with bool properties in the model.
