Odata MongoDb lt filtering

[DrBlackBird]

Hi,

I have my API with MongoDB and Odata up and running. Everything works so far good, also filtering except for the LT / LE / GT / GE operator.

So for example my filter would be:

https://localhost:5000/api/MyController?$filter=MYATTRIBUTE lt '2023-11-03'

I receive the following error message:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
 ---> MongoDB.Driver.Linq.ExpressionNotSupportedException: Expression not supported: Compare($it.MYATTRIBUTE, "MY_VALUE").
