How to properly use chrono::DateTime in schemaless?

[Magicloud]

In Rust, I have a field of a struct with type chrono::DateTime<Utc>. The struct derives serde::Serialize and serde:Deserialize. I tried to inserted some muck data and it worked fine.

While I query them, I found that the field is stored as string, instead of datetimes. Hence I cannot query the data with WHERE condition like time > <datetime>'2025-10-15'. But time = '2025-10-18T04:24:17.180400918Z' works.

What did I do wrong? How can I make it a proper datetime?

As of v2.0.0, SurrealDB no longer eagerly converts a string into a datetime. An implicit d prefix or cast using is required instead.

Just an fyi: #2804

Thank you for the thread. So from it and #2454 it mentioned, if I understood correctly, the only solution now is using datetime type from Surrealdb?
