Autopopulate Fails with Empty Array #86

Hello

Autopopulate is failing when the autopopulated field is an empty array.

In my Project Schema the field "clients" doesn't always have values. Some projects have clients others don't.

When I try the mongoose function "findOneAndUpdte" it fails and the message is: (node:11503) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: CastError: Cast to [ObjectId] failed for value "[""]" at path "clients"

Fails only on update. On Find it works OK.

Nevermind it was my error. It was a validation in mongoose.
