dotnet publish does not respect/inherit assembly info for the published exe. How do I set Product Name on the exe that's created via publish?

Question

I need to be able to set Product Name in the exe file that is generated from dotnet publish inside a CI pipeline

Currently building in Azure Pipelines and using the Assembly Info (.Net Core & .Net Standard) task to populate these fields.

The project DLL has all the metadata as expected. The compiled exe does not. Is there a way to get the exe to inherit all the assembly info set in the project?
