ArgoCD is ignoring Helm Release capabilities

[ArieLevs]

There is a similar issue #7438 regarding same issue that has been closed.
Also seen a fix to the Helm capabilities in 2.2 milestone, can it also include Release part?

Describe the bug

ArgoCD is ignoring Release built-in objects

To Reproduce

Deploy any helm template that includes

{{ if .Release.IsUpgrade }}
SOMETHING HERE
{{ end }}

Expected behavior

ArgoCD should respect helm release capabilities

Version

v2.1.3+d855831

I answer the question in the discussion: #7496 (comment)

The short answer we cannot achieve this unless Argo CD starts remembering lifecycle information about applications.

@jessesuen At least can the flag be exposed in Application definition for users to set manually? The default should still be .Release.IsInstall, and users can deliberately set the flag after initial installation.

The flag helm template --is-upgrade itself has been available since helm v3.1:
