Populate fields inside an array of objects

[luizsandoval]

Hello,

I have a data structure as follows:

Where fields is an array of objects containing a field that is an ObjectId that references to another collection.

I'm trying to populate fields.field using the nested populate syntax populate=fields.field, but mongoose-query-parser outputs the following:

When what I really want is:

{
     populate: [
          {
              path: 'fields.field'
          }
     ]
}

Am I doing something wrong? Can this feature be implemented?

Best regards,

Luiz Sandoval.

I found out my mongoose schema was wrong.
