Why isn't data being updated in MongoDB?

Question

MongoDB

var User = require('../../models/user')
var mongoose = require('mongoose')

module.exports = function (req, res) {
  var post = req.body // post.name === new value
  
  User.findById(req.user._id, function (err, user) {
    if(err) return console.log(err);

    user.data.moneySource[post.index].name = post.name;

    user.save(function (err) {
      if(err) return console.log(err)
      console.log(user.data.moneySource[post.index].name) // it returns NEW value
    })
  })

But the changes are not made to the database
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Please show the model code. If the data field or data.moneySource is of type Schema.Types.Mixed you must use the markModified method on the document to notify mongoose of the change. You can read more here .
