Options Items is always empty

[jgondev]

Hello, I'm using Automapper.Extensions.Microsoft.Dependencyinjection (8.1.1)

I'm trying to send a boolean to the mapper to tell the mapper to map the related entities in AfterMap, this boolean is sent as an entry in the Items dictionary, but when I access the ResolutionContext in the AfterMap the dictionary is empty. What am I doing wrong?

This is the scenario

Profile:

CreateMap<Client, ClientDto>()
  .ForMember(dto => dto.ClientId, options => options.MapFrom(src => src.Id))
  .ForMember(dto => dto.Referal, options => options.MapFrom(src => src.Referal))
  .ForMember(dto => dto.Students, options => options.MapFrom((src, dst, _, context) =>
  {
    return context.WithRelatedEntities() ? context.Mapper.Map<IEnumerable<StudentDto>>(src.Students) : null;
  }))
  .ForMember(dto => dto.Persona, options => options.MapFrom((src, dst, _, context) =>
  {
    return context.WithRelatedEntities() ? context.Mapper.Map<PersonaDto>(src.Persona) : null;
  }));

Extensions (Where I insert/read the boolean)

public static class AutomapperExtensions<T> where T : class
{
  public static Action<IMappingOperationOptions<object, T>> IncludeRelatedEntities = o =>
  {
    o.Items["IncludeRelatedEntities"] = true;
  };
}

public static class AutomapperExtensions
{
  public static bool DoesIncludeRelatedEntities(this ResolutionContext ctx)
  {
    return ctx.Options.Items.ContainsKey("IncludeRelatedEntities") && 
    Convert.ToBoolean(ctx.Options.Items["IncludeRelatedEntities"]);
  }
}

Mapping invocation:

var client = _mapper.Map(persona.Client, AutomapperExtensions<ClientDto>.IncludeRelatedEntities);

Thanks in advance!

It works perfectly, I was calling from the wrong endpoint (where the item is not set) 🤦‍♂️
