Property Editor: Content Picker - pick from master root node

Questions

Hi

Using “Content Picker”, i want to pick content outside my “root”. A way to do this is creating a custom query step as described in this post (and the doc). The result is really what i need. I just can’t get it to work.:

Code I am testing with is this:

public class MyCustomDynamicRootQueryStep : IDynamicRootQueryStep
{
    public async Task<Attempt<ICollection<Guid>>> ExecuteAsync(ICollection<Guid> origins, DynamicRootQueryStep filter)
    {
        await Task.Yield(); // "ignore" async warning
        
        if (filter.Alias != nameof(MyCustomDynamicRootQueryStep))
        {
            return Attempt<ICollection<Guid>>.Fail();
        }

        if (origins.Any() is false)
        {
            return Attempt<ICollection<Guid>>.Succeed(Array.Empty<Guid>());
        }

        var result = new [] { Guid.Parse("916724A5-173D-4619-B97E-B9DE133DD6F5") }; // SYSTEM DATA: umbraco master root

        return Attempt<ICollection<Guid>>.Succeed(result);
    }

    public string SupportedDirectionAlias { get; } = nameof(MyCustomDynamicRootQueryStep);
}

public class CustomQueryStepComposer : IComposer
{
    public void Compose(IUmbracoBuilder builder)
    {
        builder.DynamicRootSteps().Append<MyCustomDynamicRootQueryStep>();
    }
}

The composer code is hit, but the QueryStep: ExecuteAsync method is not. I would have expected this to happen at some point when I am editing a content picker editor.

What am I doing wrong, or I am expecting the wrong thing?
I am using version 15.3.0
