We would be happy to create a PR for this functionality if the Dex community would be interested in it. Should we do so?

@nabokihms @sagikazarmark Similar to #1058 (comment), I'm pinging you because it looks like you both have recent commits in Dex, and you are both listed in MAINTAINERS.

Didn't get the cause of the issue. Could you please educate me what you want to change in Dex to make it work?
