HTML Export "definitions" does not work like expected

[SabineGl]

Hello,

we would like to separate field details in model.fields and reference it to the "definition" section like this:

models:
  public_address:
    type: table
    description: my table description
    title: my_table
    fields:
      first_column:
        $ref: '#/definitions/first_column'
        type: string  # integer, array ...          
        description: first column description
        required: true
        unique: true
        primaryKey: true # primary key        
      my_second_column:
        type: integer
        description: second column description
      my_third_column:
        type: string
        description: an other description
        references: foreign.key.table
definitions:
  first_column:
        type: string  # integer, array ...   
        title: An optional string describing the semantic of the data in this field
        references: database.schema.table.column #database.schema.column of foreignKey references
        pii: true
        classification: sensitive
        tags: ["myTag", "mySecondTag"]
        links: 
          URLToWebpage: https://example.com
        enum: ["good", "better", "best"] #A value must be equal to one of the elements in this array value. Only evaluated if the value is not null
        minLength: 5  #A value must greater than, or equal to, the value of this. Only applies to string types.
        maxLength: 500  #A value must less than, or equal to, the value of this. Only applies to string types
        format: email #A specific format the value must comply with (e.g., 'email', 'uri', 'uuid').        
        pattern: "^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$" # A regular expression the value must match. Only applies to string types
        minimum: 5 # A value of a number must greater than, or equal to, the value of this. Only evaluated if the value is not null. Only applies to numeric values.
        exclusiveMinimum: 10 #A value of a number must greater than the value of this. Only evaluated if the value is not null. Only applies to numeric values.
        maximum: 100000 #A value of a number must less than, or equal to, the value of this. Only evaluated if the value is not null. Only applies to numeric values.
        exclusiveMaximum: 15500 # A value of a number must less than the value of this. Only evaluated if the value is not null. Only 

But if I'm using the datacontract cli to export the HTML it shows the attributes twice: once in models.fields and additionally in definition. But I configured only primaryKey, unique and description in "models.field" and the rest in definition (see yml).

export datacontrac cli output:

I tested it with "online data contract editor" https://editor.datacontract.com/
Here it works perfectly fine:

Thanks you very much!
