OpenAPI - schema examples are not used

[gotson]

Description

I have an OpenAPI spec, where the example is set on each field of the schema. I don't have any example set at the API response level. When using my OpenAPI spec, the example from the schema fields are not used, and instead dummy data is generated.

Reproduction steps

Here is a trimmed down version of my OpenAPI spec:

openapi.json

Here is what the mock returns for GET /api/v1/announcements:

{
  "description": "truly",
  "home_page_url": "savor",
  "items": [
    {
      "_komga": {
        "read": false
      },
      "author": {
        "name": "after",
        "url": "misty"
      },
      "content_html": "yahoo",
      "date_modified": "2025-11-13T10:58:20.178Z",
      "id": "where",
      "summary": "owner",
      "tags": [
        "chant",
        "dimly",
        "along",
        "after",
        "since",
        "realm"
      ],
      "title": "yahoo",
      "url": "torte"
    },
    {
      "_komga": {
        "read": false
      },
      "author": {
        "name": "fooey",
        "url": "giant"
      },
      "content_html": "circa",
      "date_modified": "2025-07-30T12:11:50.348Z",
      "id": "fooey",
      "summary": "since",
      "tags": [
        "armor",
        "which"
      ],
      "title": "yahoo",
      "url": "round"
    }
  ],
  "title": "until",
  "version": "fooey"
}

Expected behavior

The mock JSON should be using the example fields of the schema.

Initial assessment

No clue…

I had a similar issue recently and realised that if you look into the docs here https://source.mswjs.io/docs/integrations/open-api#response-definition
you will see that only examples specified directly in the responses block are taken into consideration. While the OpenAPI spec allows you to define examples on the object schemas as well, this library doesn't implement reading them.
Would love to see this working but I think this is not a bug - just lack of functionality.
