I would like to make an api that could accept two Path variables and one of them could be optional. In this article they said that we can achieve this by using Optional, but this is not working.
here is my Controller
@GetMapping("/users/{dateDu}/{dateAu}")
public ResponseEntity<List<User>> getAllUsersByDate(
@PathVariable LocalDate dateDu,
@PathVariable(required = false) Optional<LocalDate> dateAu,
@org.springdoc.api.annotations.ParameterObject Pageable pageable
) {
if(dateAu.isEmpty()){
dateAu = Optional.of(LocalDate.now());
}
Page<User> page = userRepository.getUsersByDate(dateDu, dateAu.get(), pageable);
HttpHeaders headers = PaginationUtil.generatePaginationHttpHeaders(ServletUriComponentsBuilder.fromCurrentRequest(), page);
return ResponseEntity.ok().headers(headers).body(page.getContent());
}
in this image of swagger the two parameters are required even if the second one has Optional
Since I generated my spring boot app with JHipster, on postman when I don't give a the value of the Optional parameter. I got this error

<h1>An error has occurred :-(</h1>
<h2>Usual error causes</h2>
<ol>
<li>
You started the application from an IDE and you didn't run
<code style="color: red">npm start</code> or
<code style="color: red">npm run webapp:build</code>.
</li>
<li>
You had a network error while running <code style="color: red">npm install</code>. If you are
behind a corporate proxy, it is
likely that this error was caused by your proxy. Have a look at the JHipster error logs, you
will probably have the cause of
the error.
</li>
<li>
You installed a Node.js version that doesn't work with JHipster: please use an LTS (long-term
support) version, as it's the
only version we support.
</li>
</ol>
<h2>Building the client side code again</h2>
<p>If you want to go fast, run <code style="color: red">./mvnw</code> to build and run everything.</p>
<p>If you want to have more control, so you can debug your issue more easily, you should follow the
following steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Install npm dependencies with the command <code style="color: red">npm install</code></li>
<li>
Build the client with the command <code style="color: red">npm run webapp:build</code> or
<code style="color: red">npm start</code>
</li>
<li>Start the server with <code style="color: red">./mvnw</code> or using your IDE</li>
</ol>

I would appreciate if any one could help me to understand why this is happening and/or how I could solve it. Thank you in advance.
