Description

## File a bug

Visual Studio 2022

Add / View / Razor View / ...

When scaffolding it shows "updating the dependency information" which then fails accordingliy with this error:

```
1>C:\Repositories\MinimalApi\MinimalApi\Apophis.csproj : error : The package reference 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Design' should not specify a version. Please specify the version in 'C:\Repositories\MinimalApi\Packages.props' or set VersionOverride to override the centrally defined version.
```
### Include your code

```xml


net6.0



```

It always changes the version part back to the failing PackageReference

```xml

```

###version information

This happens with all preview version I tried, I did not try with VS2019 or .NET 5
