EF Core Add-Migration error property already exists

Question

I'm trying to create another migration, and I don't understand why I keep having this error. Why does it even try to add the property again? I added it on the previous migration, now database is up to date, and I want to add other changes. What am I doing wrong?

PM> Add-Migration Northwind1.3
Build started...
Build succeeded.

Employee:

public partial class Employee
{
    public Employee()
    {
        EmployeeTerritories = new HashSet<EmployeeTerritory>();
        InverseReportsToNavigation = new HashSet<Employee>();
        Orders = new HashSet<Order>();
    }

    public int EmployeeId { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public string TitleOfCourtesy { get; set; }
    public DateTime? BirthDate { get; set; }
    public DateTime? HireDate { get; set; }
    public string Address { get; set; }
    public string City { get; set; }
    public string Region { get; set; }
    public string PostalCode { get; set; }
    public string Country { get; set; }
    public string HomePhone { get; set; }
    public string Extension { get; set; }
    public byte[] Photo { get; set; }
    public string Notes { get; set; }
    public int? ReportsTo { get; set; }
    public string PhotoPath { get; set; }
    public int? EmployeeRoleId { get; set; }

    public virtual EmployeeRole EmployeeRole { get; set; }
    public virtual Employee ReportsToNavigation { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<EmployeeTerritory> EmployeeTerritories { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<Employee> InverseReportsToNavigation { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<Order> Orders { get; set; }
}

EmployeeRole:

public partial class EmployeeRole
{
    public EmployeeRole()
    {
        Employees = new HashSet<Employee>();
    }

    public int EmployeeRoleId { get; set; }
    public string EmployeeRoleName { get; set; }

    public virtual ICollection<Employee> Employees { get; set; }
}

From the modelBuilder of Employee in NorthwindContext:

entity.HasOne(d => d.EmployeeRole)
    .WithMany(p => p.Employees)
    .HasForeignKey(d => d.EmployeeRoleId);

Also the EmployeeRoleId property in EmployeeRole is faded for some reason.

I think the _MigrationHistory tables in Database are not updated. Check the _MigrationHistory for the last migration applied in this table
