DocFX doesn't resolve inheritdocs for external interfaces

[smaillet]

Operating System: Windows

DocFX Version Used:
2.56.6

Template used: custom template

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Addd xrefservice to the docfx.json as described in docfx doc site
2. on a type implementing IDisposable add the /// <inheritdoc/> comment to the Dispose() Method
3. Build docs

Expected Behavior:
Docs would resolve the inheritdocs comment to the official docs for IDispose.Dispose() without errors or warnings

Actual Behavior:
[21-01-17 11:30:05.020]Warning:[MetadataCommand.ExtractMetadata](foo.cs#L50)Could not resolve base documentation for 'Foo.Bar.Dispose'

NOTE: The xrefservice URL for IDispose.Dispose does work and retrieves the information, so it's not like the data is missing from the service. It appears that docfx, just can't resolve inheritdocs when the docs are inherited from an external interface. (Which is quite a common thing)

Any news on this issue? I have the same problem...

As well as external base classes.

Any news or at least a workaround? (other than copy/paste the original docs...)
