Description
In openapi, if the field defined as date format:
startDate:
type: "string"
format: "date"
Codegen will generate the field as LocalDate in the model.
@JsonProperty("startDate")
public java.time.LocalDate getStartDate() {
return startDate;
}
But for the array (list) with same definition:
datelist:
type: "array"
items:
type: "string"
format: "date"
Codegen will generate field as String List.
@JsonProperty("datelist")
public java.util.List<String> getDatelist() {
return datelist;
}
We should make it consistent to be list of LocalDate

Research direction
No source files or tests are identified in the issue. Start by tracing OpenAPI date-format handling for scalar fields and array items in the Java code generator, then compare the generated model types; done means an array of format date generates java.util.List consistently with a scalar date field.
