Global illumination with cutouts

When I bake lights with a cutout shader, the GI calculations ignore the alpha info. This works fine with Unity Standard shader, but I don't know which flag to set in ASE. You can see an example in the screenshot. The King of Hearts card is using Unity Standard Cutout shader.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello,
Thank you for getting in touch, we would be happy to help.
Can you share a sample of the shader used?
Which Unity version are you using?
Thanks!

Unity 2018.2.7.
Attached is the shader file for the Ace of Hearts card and the associated texture, in a zip file.

You'll have to rename your Albedo do Texture Sample node to MainTex, this resolved the issue in your sample.
Apologies for the inconvenience, this is actually a Unity limitation/requirement.
Thanks!
