Description

I am not able to register converter for Data REST, according to instructions Custom conversions.

I have tried other methods, but without success.

Entity is created but cannot be displayed via endpoint/{ID}.
Nor other ways to access via ID, but displaying all works.

Am I doing something wrong? Or what's the workaround?

Research direction

Start with the attached demo.zip and the linked Custom conversions documentation, then reproduce the failure when accessing an entity through endpoint/{ID}. Compare that behavior with the working collection response and determine whether the OffsetDateTime-to-Date converter is registered. Done means entity-by-ID access works without ConverterNotFoundException.
