To format date with specific pattern in OpenAPI, is necessary to include x-field-extra-annotation in yaml.
Example:
creationDate:
type: string
format: date
x-field-extra-annotation: '@com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonFormat(shape = com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd")'
Is only necessary to change the pattern to adapt it to your needs and recompile.
