Using DebuggerDisplayAttribute for property/field

Question

I have a class with a property of standard type. In debugger I would like to see this particular property in some specific format. I'm using attribute DebuggerDisplay on that particular property, but in debugger's Watch window I see it applied to entire class, but not to target property. What am I missing?

class Transaction : ITransaction
{
    [DebuggerDisplay("{DateAsDebugString}")]
    public DateTime Date
    {
        get;set;
    }

    string DateAsDebugString
    {
        get
        {
            var res = Date.ToShortDateString();
            if (Date.TimeOfDay != TimeSpan.Parse("00:00"))
                res += " " + Date.TimeOfDay.ToString();
            return res;
        }
    }

}

How to apply property level debugger formatting/visualizing rules?

This seems to be a bug in Visual Studio 2015, as documented here. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have ever been fixed.

The same code in Visual Studio 2013 produces the expected results.
