Extending using PartialType, OmitType… doesn't copy properties decorators

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current behavior

Hi, I've noticed that when extending a class (Child) from another (Parent), using PartialType (for example, but this is the same with the other wrappers) doesn't add the Parent properties decorators to the Child.

How did I notice this ? I've some swagger @ApiProperty() decorators in my CreateDto, and when extending the UpdateDto extends PartialType(CreateDto) {}, the UpdateDto doesn't have any properties in the Swagger.``

However, removing the PartialType wrapper "fix" the issue.

Expected behavior

All the Parent properties decorators should be copied to the Child.

If you're using swagger, then you should use PartialType from @nestjs/swagger, not @nestjs/mapped-types
