Description

I'm using 'x-csharp-value-type: true' to generate nullable DateTime but this doesn't works

openapi-generator version

docker image: openapitools/openapi-generator-cli:latest

OpenAPI declaration file content or url

https://gist.github.com/dstepanov25/91fc075149b832edb8c6131a70b527fc

Generation Details
  1. docker image pull openapitools/openapi-generator-cli:latest
  2. docker-compose up for this file https://gist.github.com/dstepanov25/8715114c57d9a7517f9a7647e231dc5e
    As a result I'm receiving a project with such model: https://gist.github.com/dstepanov25/2194bad7e1d2ac6e06db5de060ee1466
    I'm expecting to see public DateTime? Timestamp { get; set; } to avoid msbuild warnings

Research direction

Start with the OpenAPI declaration gist, the docker-compose generation steps, and the generated C# model gist to reproduce the nullable DateTime problem. Trace how csharp-netcore handles x-csharp-value-type, then verify that the generated model uses public DateTime? Timestamp { get; set; } without the reported MSBuild warnings.
