Using $addFields to Add Sub Property to Root of Mongo Document

I am creating a Mongo view n order to hand the front-end client the data shapes as necessary. Originally I have a document that looks like this:



{ 
"_id" : <value>,
"region" : "Midwest",
"dob" : ISODate("1989-07-21T05:00:00.000+0000"),
"paymentOption" : {
"_id" : <value>,
"anotherProp" : <value>
"coverage" : {
"status" : "active",
"coverageEnd" : ISODate("2020-07-31T00:00:00.000+0000"),
"coverageStart" : ISODate("2018-08-01T00:00:00.000+0000"),
},
}
}


... and what I want to do is take "coverage" from within "paymentOption" and put this on the root of the document with a property titled "coverage", and then afterwards, remove "paymentOption".



To do that I tried this:



$addFields: {
"coverage" : { "paymentOption.coverage" : {$exists: true} }
}


... but this produces an error:




Invalid $addFields specification: cannot use dotted field name




How would this operation need to change to produce this document?



{ 
"_id" : <value>,
"region" : "Midwest",
"dob" : ISODate("1989-07-21T05:00:00.000+0000"),
"coverage" : {
"status" : "active",
"coverageEnd" : ISODate("2020-07-31T00:00:00.000+0000"),
"coverageStart" : ISODate("2018-08-01T00:00:00.000+0000"),
}
}

This will do it for you:



db.collection.aggregate([
{
$addFields: {
"coverage": "$paymentOption.coverage"
}
},
{
$project: {
paymentOption: 0
}
}
])


You can see it working here



You ware missing the $ operator since you are trying to access the paymentOption fields.
