When importing 100’s of new documents, I had hoped / intended the document structure for 1 of the fields to be an Array
with sub-elements being basic String
, Int32
or Double
data types.
However, I has changed the Array
field into an Object
.
How can I now change this back?
If I edit a single document in the Atlas web UI, and change the datatype with the dropdown list to Array
it blanks the sub-elements. For seamless update, I would ideally like to retain those contents.
It could be a multi-stage process, such as creating a new Array
field, then copy the sub-element data into the new Array
, then delete the original Object
, then rename the Array
. But I expect some expert is aware of the best approach…
