Generated columns added to migrations file every time - any way to tell the migration to ignore single fields?

[gravitiq-cm]

I have a generated column in my entity

/**
 * @ORM\Column(type="boolean", columnDefinition="TINYINT(1) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (xyz) STORED", insertable=false, updatable=false)
 * @ORM\Ignore()
 */

This works fine. However, every time I run make:migration (even with no new changes) a new migration file is created with the details of the generated columns. E.g. something like this:

        $this->addSql('ALTER TABLE my_table ADD my_field TINYINT(1) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (xyz) STORED');

I guess this is because the migration diff cannot see details of the generated column?

Is there any way to
a) see/debug what the migration is comparing to what (to see if I just need to tweak the text in the columnDefinition)
b) to mark the generated column as "ignore during migration" so make:migration does not consider it when creating migrations
?

Update: I tried to do some debugging in Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\Comparator but it seems there's no data about the generated field pulled from the database.

In the short term, is there a way to mark this column as excluded from consideration when calculating the migration diff?

Is there any update about this issue?
