I want to edit the scaffolding template for Blazor CRUD pages, but my changes to the template are not being reflected in the output.

I tried researching this issue, and the closest answers I could find are how to edit Razor templates, or MVC component templates. I tried following these instructions, adapting to my project (I copied the Blazor folder (C:\Users\username.nuget\packages\microsoft.visualstudio.web.codegenerators.mvc\8.0.2\Templates\Blazor) instead of Razor into a folder in my project called Templates, hierarchy shown here: )

and then I changed the header of the Create.tt file (to MudBlazor's header text) to test if it would work:

<PageTitle>Create</PageTitle>

<!-- Test override -->

<MudText Typo="Typo.h3" GutterBottom="true">Create was changed</MudText>

<!-- Test override -->

<h4><#= modelName #></h4>

<hr />

but I noticed upon saving, a file named Create.cs would be created in the same folder:

with the only contents being

ErrorGeneratingOutput

and attempting to scaffold would give an error. I tried deleting the Create.cs file, and starting again, but it seemed like it used the default template instead of my override. I then changed the template inside the installation directory(C:\Users\username.nuget\packages\microsoft.visualstudio.web.codegenerators.mvc\8.0.2\Templates\Blazor), and tried scaffolding again, but again, no changes were shown in the output. What am I doing wrong?

Not sure if this is at all relevant, but Visual studio is spitting out these errors since I copied the template into my project:
