Description
```There was an error creating a DbContext: ...\Controllers\MembersController.cs(478,12): error CS0037: Cannot convert null to 'char' because it is a non-nullable value type```
## Steps to reproduce:
Code causing the issue:
```
member.CurrentCategory = latestResult.div switch
{
5 => 'A',
10 => 'B',
20 => 'C',
30 => 'D',
_ => null
};
```
In the model class, I have the following property:
```
[Table("member")]
public partial class Member
{
/* rest of class */
public Nullable CurrentCategory { get; set; }
}
```
Scaffolding used to work fine, so I suspect this might be an update to Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Design (or related packages) to 3.1.3.
Changing `_ => null` to `_ => 'U'`, for example, allows scaffolding to work again.
## Expected behavior:
Scaffolding should succeed, in this case, was trying to scaffold a view.
## Actual behavior:
Scaffolding fails due to assigning null to a Nullable field.
## Additional information about the project being scaffolded, such as:
### Target framework(s):
.NetCore 3.1/AspNet.Core 3.1
### Package version of Microsoft.AspNetCore.App or Microsoft.AspNetCore.All (if applicable):
3.1.2
### Package version of Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Design - this may be added to your project by scaffolding:
3.1.3
