Question

If I have a document like:

{title: "hello", 
 formats:{mp4: {status: "processing"},
          webm: {status: "processing" }} }

How can I write a $set query to set both inner status to “completed”

Answer 1

I’d rework your schema to be something like:

{
  "title":"Hello",
  "formats":[{
      "format":"mp4",
      "status":"processing",
  },
   {
      "format":"mp4",
      "status":"processing",
  }
  ]
 }

That way you aren’t forcing a particular label and have a more abstract schema. You would have to still touch each of the status, there isn’t an update all for them.
