2 issues found

1. useCollection property works but missing the using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
2. returnICollection doesn't appear to work it still generates as Collection not ICollection

expect the using System.Collections.ObjectModel; statement to also be generated and placed at the top of class file

other nice to have please additional options if possible

• Dictionary as IDictionary
• List as IList

@manhao-chen Could you please try again with the latest 5.0.0-beta? I'm wondering if this is still valid

Not sure if it's related, but I'm using 5.2.1 and returnICollection with the csharp-netcore generator does not do anything either

It's now 5 years later and this issue is still there in the current latest version 7.5.0. Are there any plans to fix this? @wing328
