Why am I recieving a "Duplicate 'AssemblyVersion'" error when I use an "AssemblyInfo.cs" file in MATLAB R2019b?

I want to set the version number for my .NET Assembly by using the attribute "AssemblyVersion" in an "AssemblyInfo.cs" file. This was working for me in an earlier version of MATLAB.

 

When I do this in MATLAB R2019b, I receive the following error: 

"AssemblyInfo.cs(6,12): error CS0579: Duplicate 'AssemblyVersion'

Why am I receiving this error and how can I specify the "AssemblyVersion"?

As of R2019b, the "AssemblyInfo.cs" workflow does not work for the version number specifically, but can still be used for the other properties. 

As an alternative on Windows, the version can be specified in the Library Compiler tool. Additionally, the version can be specified in "mcc" by appending "version=

version_number"

 to end of the "-W" arguments list.

If the version number needs to be specified by using an external file, you can still give the .DLL a version number using the workflow described at this link:
