Converting Form Container Block

Vote:
 

We have a system with a bunch of Epi Forms built for it. These forms are all using the default FormContainerBlock.

Recently we were asked to add a few properties to the default Form Container. Easy enough to do - for new forms.

To my knowledge, it is not possible to add a strongly typed property to a block which comes from a library.

How could we make sure that, when we deploy the change, _all_ forms would have the property?

The way the property is currently added is via extending FormContainerBlock and configuring its service type to IFormContainerBlock. With this in mind - how can we migrate all FormContainerBlock types to our CustomFormContainerBlock type?

Alternatively, if there's a way to add properties to block types in libraries, that would be acceptable as well.
