Entity Framework - Update Model From Database... - no update happens!

I have a table in my DB called CompanyDetails. It has a column called CharacterID varchar(255). I just changed it from a NOT NULL column to a NULL column. I ran the 'Update Model From Database...' command in the model browser as well as in the EDMX file viewer. This is what it created in the designer:

/// <summary>
/// There are no comments for Property CharacterId in the schema.
/// </summary>
[global::System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EdmScalarPropertyAttribute(IsNullable=false)]
[global::System.Runtime.Serialization.DataMemberAttribute()]
public string CharacterId
{
    get
    {
        return this._CharacterId;
    }
    set
    {
        this.OnCharacterIdChanging(value);
        this.ReportPropertyChanging("CharacterId");
        this._CharacterId = global::System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.StructuralObject.SetValidValue(value, false);
        this.ReportPropertyChanged("CharacterId");
        this.OnCharacterIdChanged();
    }
}
private string _CharacterId;
partial void OnCharacterIdChanging(string value);
partial void OnCharacterIdChanged();
/// <summary>
/// There are no comments for Property URLDomain in the schema.
/// </summary>
[global::System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EdmScalarPropertyAttribute()]
[global::System.Runtime.Serialization.DataMemberAttribute()]
public string URLDomain
{
    get
    {
        return this._URLDomain;
    }
    set
    {
        this.OnURLDomainChanging(value);
        this.ReportPropertyChanging("URLDomain");
        this._URLDomain = global::System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.StructuralObject.SetValidValue(value, true);
        this.ReportPropertyChanged("URLDomain");
        this.OnURLDomainChanged();
    }
}
private string _URLDomain;
partial void OnURLDomainChanging(string value);
partial void OnURLDomainChanged();

You will notice that it has an attribute of:

[global::System.Data.Objects.DataClass
