Realm trigger with exclusion projection requesting operationType t

MongoDB Atlas App Services & Realm
1

Hello everyone! I’m having an issue with a trigger in my Realm app that I use to move data from Mongo to EventBridge.

When trying to add a projection to a realm trigger that uses exclusion projection it throws the following error: “‘operationType’ is a required field in a valid project expression”.

The projection expression I’m using:
{ “fullDocument.images”:0 }

I need to be able to only exclude a certain field from my document, this error isn’t really valid as operationType will be included if I use an exclusion projection.

This seems like a product bug right, or should I be doing something different? Temporarily I’ve generated an inclusion projection expression but if I add any new field to the document I’ll have to modify the trigger which doesn’t really work for our use case.

Thanks!
Leandro

Hi Leandro,

I am having this exact problem and was wondering if you found the right projection expression.

I would be very grateful if you could share it here. Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris, I’ve talked about it with support and they’ve started an internal ticket to work on it. I’ve upvoted the following in the feedback website, I suggest you do the same: Realm Trigger Event Projection should support exclusion – MongoDB Feedback Engine

Thanks
