How would you go about adding an extra field to the default Meteor.users collection after the user has already been created?

This is assuming there are two things you want to take care of: One, adding the field to the existing user documents; Two, adding the field to all new users in the future. For the first case, you can use the meteor mongo console to enter a command that finds all users and updates their document wit…

If you’re going to have the field in any user documents, you might as well have it in all user documents so you can safely query the user without having to work around the buggy possibility that the field won’t be there.

That’s right, but it has nothing to do with the profile field and shouldn’t interact with profile at all. I don’t know why that doesn’t seem to create the voted field as expected.

Add field to users collection?
