[BUG][MAVEN] Bug generating .Net Client with Maven 7.6.0 Generator

[Mr-Dav-Rii]

Description

When generating clients with the posted api definition, the .Net Client has a generated Serialize helper function for the Cartype:
localVarRequestOptions.FormParameters.Add("cartype", MyCusomWebapiClient.Client.ClientUtils.Serialize(cartype)); // form parameter
instead of the ParameterToString function:
localVarRequestOptions.FormParameters.Add("cartype", MyCusomWebapiClient.Client.ClientUtils.ParameterToString(cartype)); // form parameter

openapi-generator version

maven 7.6.0 for .Net Client

        {
            MyCusomWebapiClient.Client.RequestOptions localVarRequestOptions = new MyCusomWebapiClient.Client.RequestOptions();

            string[] _contentTypes = new string[] {
                "multipart/form-data"
            };

            // to determine the Accept header
            string[] _accepts = new string[] {
            };

            var localVarContentType = MyCusomWebapiClient.Client.ClientUtils.SelectHeaderContentType(_contentTypes);
            if (localVarContentType != null)
            {
                localVarRequestOptions.HeaderParameters.Add("Content-Type", localVarContentType);
            }

            var localVarAccept = MyCusomWebapiClient.Client.ClientUtils.SelectHeaderAccept(_accepts);
            if (localVarAccept != null)
            {
                localVarRequestOptions.HeaderParameters.Add("Accept", localVarAccept);
            }

            if (cartype != null)
            {
                localVarRequestOptions.FormParameters.Add("cartype", MyCusomWebapiClient.Client.ClientUtils.Serialize(cartype)); // form parameter
            }

            localVarRequestOptions.Operation = "CustomCarsApi.GenerateCustomCar";
            localVarRequestOptions.OperationIndex = operationIndex;


            // make the HTTP request
            var localVarResponse = this.Client.Post<Object>("/api/myApi/CustomCar", localVarRequestOptions, this.Configuration);
            if (this.ExceptionFactory != null)
            {
                Exception _exception = this.ExceptionFactory("GenerateCustomCar", localVarResponse);
                if (_exception != null)
                {
                    throw _exception;
                }
            }

            return localVarResponse;
        }

 [...]
}

Here the problematic part is:

[...]
            if (cartype != null)
            {
                localVarRequestOptions.FormParameters.Add("cartype", MyCusomWebapiClient.Client.ClientUtils.Serialize(cartype)); // form parameter
            }
[...]

this results in ""Van"" to be added to the form parameters, instead of the expected "Van" (default case).

The expected behavior can be achieved by changing the CustomCar Component and specifically add the string as type for the cartype, as follows:

 CustomCar:
      description: A model which represents a custom Car.
      type: object
      properties:
        cartype:
          type: string
          $ref: "#/components/schemas/CarType"

Resulting in MyCusomWebapiClient.Client.ClientUtils.ParameterToString() being used for the form parameter.

[...]
            if (cartype != null)
            {
                localVarRequestOptions.FormParameters.Add("cartype", MyCusomWebapiClient.Client.ClientUtils.ParameterToString(cartype)); // form parameter
            }
[...]

Generation Details

java argumentList :
"-jar openapi-generator-cli-7.6.0
"generate"
"-i $($apiDefinition.Path)"
"-g csharp"
"-o $tempClientDirectory"
"--additional-properties packageName=$($apiDefinition.ClientPackageName)"
"--additional-properties targetFramework=net8.0"
"--global-property skipFormModel=false"
)

Issue

The issue is basically, that the type is not deduced by the generator itself.
