Multi-targeting Revit 2019 + 2020 using MSBuild

Hi,

I'm trying to use msbuild to create a multi-target project per the example below however I can't seem to get it to work with Revit 2019 and 2020 because they share the same .NET framework (4.7). Does anyone have a quick fix to handle these two versions of Revit? I haven't seen any articles that use msbuild to build multiple versions of the same framework. Are there any big problems if I target 4.7.2 for Revit 2020?

I build against multiple frameworks without issues.

Agreed setting 2020 to build against 4.7.1 or 4.7.2 works but wanted to confirm this is best course of action. I always thought the Revit API wanted the .NET frameworks to match explicitly.

I'v'e been using 4.7.2 since it was released and never had an issue.
