Only some attributes are pulled into the auto-generated api .yaml files

[cjsha]

Describe the bug
For example:

• [Range(0, 1000000)] is pulled into syntax.content for BeatsPerSecond
• [Category(ConfigurationCategory)] & [Description(<whatever>)] are not pulled into syntax.content for either BeatsPerSecond or Enable
  
  
  

The relevant files for this example are: OpenEphys.Onix1.ConfigureHeartbeart.yml (generated locally by docfx metadata command) and ConfigureHeartbeart.cs

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. The simplest way might be to fork this repo and build it to see for yourself. But I can try to distill the issue further if y'all want/need

Expected behavior
All attributes are pullled into the .yml file after running the metadata command

Context (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Docfx version: 2.77.0
• docfx.json config

Additional context
I'm not sure if we're doing something wrong or if this is a docfx bug. Please let me know if I can help. or provide anymore information

[cjsha]

Hi, I'm wondering if I can provide additional information or be of help for this issue. I think it's similar or a duplicate of #9234. Thanks

[filzrev]

[Category(ConfigurationCategory)] & [Description()] are not pulled into syntax.content

These attributes are defined as System.ComponentModel namespace.

So is seems these attributes are excluded by defaultfilterconfig.yml's setting.

docfx/src/Docfx.Dotnet/Resources/defaultfilterconfig.yml

Lines 41 to 43 in 5683814

	- exclude:
	uidRegex: '^System\.ComponentModel\.[^.]+$'
	type: Type

How would it work if explicitly including these attributes at custom filter config file settings (filter.yml)

[cjsha]

Yes! This helped. For anyone who runs into a similar problem, I added these lines to filter.yml

attributeRules:
- include: # this is necessary to pull our custom attributes into .yml metadata without disabling the docfx default filter
    uidRegex: ^System\.ComponentModel\.(CategoryAttribute|DescriptionAttribute)$
    type: Type 

Thanks so much.
