In my application, I am attempting to update a object nested in an array as a below. When testing in postman, there is a delay causing me to have to make two requests in order to see the updated value.
if (taskStatus) {
const taskStatusNew = await Board.findOneAndUpdate(
{
"columns.tasks._id": req.params.id,
},
{
$set: {
"columns.$[].tasks.$[t]": req.body,
},
},
{
arrayFilters: [
{
"t._id": req.params.id,
},
],
}
);
res.status(200).json(taskStatusNew);
}
By default, findOneAndUpdate() returns the document as it was before the update was applied. So you have to set the new option to true if you are using mongoose.
const taskStatusNew = await Board.findOneAndUpdate(
{
"columns.tasks._id": req.params.id,
},
{
$set: {
"columns.$[].tasks.$[t]": req.body,
},
},
{
arrayFilters: [
{
"t._id": req.params.id,
},
],
new: true
}
);

If your question is like to return the updated value then use this,- {returnDocument: 'after'}, you just need to add this in other parameter, then it will give you updated value.
