Unable to Reverse Engineer tables that have a Unique Constraint on a computed column from a database project

See original GitHub issue

I receive an error when reverse engineering a database whenever I included a table that has a unique constraint on a persisted computed column.

I understand that computed columns cannot be derived from the dacpac file, so the tools probably aren’t able to locate the column in the metadata for the unique constraint, but ideally this shouldn’t cause the entire reverse engineer process to error out (maybe throw a warning?).

Steps to reproduce

Create a new database project in Visual Studio
Create a new table with a persisted computed column that has a unique constraint
Create a new C# project in Visual Studio
Reverse engineer the table from the database project

The Build Output has the following stack trace:
