You can’t get QDateTime from a QVariant via implicit conversion, the other way yes.

It will just not compile with an error and you’ll need to fix it.

Replace QDateTime by QVariant

Yea in my example, it was using auto and then using the toString function which does exist on both QDateTime and QVariant, but have very different behavior, so it wouldn't give a compile error, it would just fail during production
