MongoDB – Update an object in nested Array

by

Apply the $set operator together with the $ positional operator in your update to change the name field.

The $ positional operator will identify the correct element in the array to update without explicitly specifying the position of the element in the array, thus your final update statement should look like:

db.collection.update(
    { "friends.u.username": "michael" }, 
    { "$set": { "friends.$.u.name": "hello" } }
)
