I want to pass the package version for a nuget package to be restored using command line. How to achieve the same?

I have a nuget package as SampleNugetPackage. Currently I am using version number 7.9.18 and am soon going to migrate to a higher version 7.10.18. The nuget package is to be utilized by hundreds of projects. I migrated my project to use Package reference instead of packages.config and got the following piece of code under my .csproj file:

<ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="SampleNugetPackage">
      <Version>7.9.18</Version>
    </PackageReference>
  </ItemGroup>

Since the package is to be utilized by hundreds of projects, I can not go and manually upgrade the version there from 7.9.18 to 7.10.18 under each .csproj file. So, I am thinking of using a variable there. I tried using a property as "PackageVersion" by defining it under a property group as shown below:

<PropertyGroup>
  <PackageVersion></PackageVersion>
</PropertyGroup>

And then tried using this property in the code as given below:

<ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="SampleNugetPackage">
      <Version>$(PackageVersion)</Version>
    </PackageReference>
  </ItemGroup>

And then I am trying to build my project using the following command through command line: msbuild myproject.sln /p:PackageVersion=7.9.18 /t:rebuild But when trying to see whether the correct version has been added, using Visual Studio, I am unable to view the package when I click on "Manage Nuget Packages". Instead I see the following error: enter image description here

By error, it is clear that the value passed to PackageVersion property is not being used by my nuget package, I am getting an empty string instead. My nuget package is located at the following path on my machine: "D:\CustomNugetPackages". Is there a way to pass the nuget package's version value from the command line?
