OpenAPI Response Schema Not Reflecting Serialization Context for Nested Groups

[ferhado]

Issue Description

The OpenAPI-generated response schema for my User entity does not properly reflect the serialization context defined for a nested property. Specifically, the company property within User should serialize with the company:relation group when the :company group is used.

Example for Clarification

In UserController.php:

#[OA\Response(
  response: 200,
  description: "",
  content: new Model(type: User::class, groups: ["detail", ":company"])
)]
#[Route('/users/{id<\d+>}', methods: ["GET"])]
public function getUserById(Request $request) {
  $id = $request->get("id");
  $user = $this->userRepo->find($id);
  return $this->json($user, context: ["groups" => ["detail", ":company"]]);
}

In User.php:

// User Entity:
class User implements UserInterface, PasswordAuthenticatedUserInterface {
  #[ORM\Id]
  #[ORM\GeneratedValue]
  #[ORM\Column]
  #[Groups(["user:rel", "list", "detail"])] // expected for main Entity
  private ?int $id = null;

  #[ORM\Column(length: 100)]
  #[Groups(["user:rel", "list", "detail", "write"])] // expected for main Entity
  private ?string $name = null;

  #[ORM\Column(length: 180, unique: true)]
  #[Groups(["user:rel", "list", "detail", "write", "auth"])] // expected for main Entity
  private ?string $username = null;

  #[ORM\Column]
  private array $roles = [];

  #[ORM\Column]
  #[Groups(["write", "auth"])]
  private ?string $password = null;

  #[Groups([":company"])] // expected for main Entity
  #[Context(context: ["groups" => ["company:relation"]])] // <------------- Not reflected Context
  #[ORM\ManyToOne
  #[ORM\JoinColumn(nullable: true)]
  private ?Company $company = null;

  #[ORM\Column(type: "boolean")]
  #[Groups(["list", "detail", "write"])] // expected for main Entity
  private bool $isActive = true;

In Company.php:

class Company {
  #[ORM\Id]
  #[ORM\GeneratedValue]
  #[ORM\Column]
  #[Groups(["list", "detail", "company:relation"])] // expected for nested Entity
  private ?int $id = null;

  #[ORM\Column(length: 100, nullable: true)]
  #[Groups(["list", "detail", "company:relation"])] // expected for nested Entity
  private ?string $name = null;

  #[ORM\Column(length: 10, nullable: true)]
  #[Groups(["list", "detail", "company:relation"])] // expected for nested Entity
  private ?string $shortName = null;

  #[Groups(["list", "detail"])]
  #[ORM\Column(length: 20, nullable: true)]
  private ?string $taxNumber = null;

  #[Groups(["list", "detail"])]
  #[ORM\Column(length: 20, nullable: true)]
  private ?string $vatId = null;

  #[ORM\Column(length: 100, nullable: true)]
  private ?string $ownerName = null;

Expected Behavior in screenshot:

The expected schema should respect the company:relation group when :company is used, showing only the fields from the company entity that are in the company:relation group.

Actual Behavior

The actual schema ignores the company:relation group and shows a different set of fields.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Define serialization groups in entities.
2. Use the #[Context(context: ["groups" => ["..."]])] annotation to specify nested serialization groups.
3. Generate OpenAPI schema.

Is there a way to make the OpenAPI schema respect the nested serialization context defined in the Symfony serializer annotations?

Additionally to what was mentioned, it does not reflect the context for datetime objects with format description. For example,

#[Context([
    DateTimeNormalizer::FORMAT_KEY => 'Y-m-d',
])]

Bump. I'm experiencing this issue since upgrading from v2 to v3.
