);I want a user to make a multiple post request storing vehicles details in the database and I want each vehicles details to have the user id instead of having its own id. I was able to get the user id from my middleware. But whenever I try to make a post with same user id the second time, I get an error saying:===>
E11000 duplicate key error collection: car-project.cars index: id dup key: { _id: "6205065a5a02a28d9ba59546" }.
How do I make a multiple post requests with the same user id?
