ViewComponentContext.ViewData no longer gets data

We're using TechFellow.Optimizely.AdvancedContentArea for display options and up until recently it has been possible to read ""AdvancedContentArea__SelectedDisplayOption" from the ViewComponentContext.ViewData. After updating from 12.19.1 to 12.21.0 this has stopped working.

protected override IViewComponentResult InvokeComponent(WebHighlightBlock currentContent)
{
	var displayOption = ViewComponentContext.ViewData["AdvancedContentArea__SelectedDisplayOption"] as EPiServer.Web.DisplayOption;
	var vm = new HighlightBlockViewModel
	{
		HighlightList = currentContent.HighlightList,
		IgnoreBreakout = !_renderingHelperService.DisplayOptionIsFullWidth(displayOption?.Tag),
	};
	return View(vm);
}

I saw there was a bugfix in the most recent update for the viewbag in blocks being empty, but this seems to be unrelated.

TechFellow.Optimizely.AdvancedContentArea has not been updated, so the issue is not here.

I think that might be related to bug CMS-32835 which should be fixed in CMS.Core 12.21 (hopefully release next week)

Oh, my bad!
I see now that the latest released version was 12.21.0, not 12.21.1 which is the version the bugfix for CMS-32835 ships with.
Hopefully that fixes my issue.

The bugfix was released yesterday EPiServer.CMS.Core 12.21.1 (optimizely.com)

You probably want to make sure you updated EPiServer.Cms.AspNetCore.HtmlHelpers to 12.21.1, not just the cms.core
