--version-suffix not changing Assembly version neither assembly file version

Steps to reproduce

dotnet build --version-suffix [anything]

Expected behavior

Assembly version and Assembly file version are set to version-[anything]

Actual behavior

Assembly version and assembly file version are: version.0

to clarify, using dotnet build --version-suffix 9 will not change the assembly version nor the assembly file version, if put it manually with a dot "version": "1.0.0.9" in the project json it works.

--version-suffix never changes assembly version or assembly file version, being numeric or not.

Environment data

dotnet --info output:

.NET Command Line Tools (1.0.0-preview1-002702)

Product Information: Version: 1.0.0-preview1-002702 Commit Sha: 6cde21225e

File and assembly version numbers only support four-part numeric version numbers. Semantic versions are not applicable and therefore ignored.

@ctrl-brk - I use this to get the product version (I don’t know if this is platform-agnostic, though):

string productVersion = 
typeof(SomeClassInYourAssembly)
            .GetTypeInfo().Assembly
            .GetCustomAttribute<AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute>()
            .InformationalVersion;
