Extension conjecture for type B parking-space representations

Let BnB_n be the signed symmetric group on nn letters, with inclusion BnBn+1B_n\subset B_{n+1} given by choosing the elements of Bn+1B_{n+1} that fix the (n+1)(n+1)st letter. For m,n1m,n\geq 1, let C[(Z/mZ)n]\mathbb{C}[(\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z})^n] be the corresponding BnB_n-representation. Extension conjecture. For all m,n1m,n\geq 1, there exists a representation Vn,mV_{n,m} of Bn+1B_{n+1} such that

ResBnBn+1Vn,mC[(Z/mZ)n].\operatorname{Res}^{B_{n+1}}_{B_n}V_{n,m}\cong \mathbb{C}[(\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z})^n].

This generalizes the extension question for the type BB parking space, which is the representation C[(Z/(2n+1)Z)n]\mathbb{C}[(\mathbb{Z}/(2n+1)\mathbb{Z})^n]. The source presents this as its main conjecture; no resolution is given here.
