Atomic error with update statement

Working with Data
1

db.flightData.update({_id:ObjectId(“6707bfffaa65c296d5d7b628”)},{delayed:true})

I am new to MongoDB. I am executing the above command which should ideally replace all the existing content in the document with the new one, but it is throwing the following error :

Update document requires atomic operators

Hi @ankit_tyagi,

Welcome to the forum!

Seems like you did not specify an operator. Can you try this?

db.flightData.update( { _id: ObjectId("6707bfffaa65c296d5d7b628") }, { $set: { delayed: true } } )

Here is a reference for Update operators: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/operator/update/

Try this (added $set operator)

db.flightData.update({_id:ObjectId(“6707bfffaa65c296d5d7b628”)},{$set: {delayed:true}})
