Collection2 / Simple Schema: Can't get value of a nested field

help
1

I am having trouble getting the value of a field from a nested schema.

Recipes.attachSchema(new SimpleSchema({
 recipeIngredients: {
      type: [Object],
      optional: true,
      blackbox: true
  },

  "recipeIngredients.$.ingredient": {
    type: String,
    label: "Ingredient",
    optional: true,
    autoform: {
      options: function() {
        var currentUserId = Meteor.userId();
        return Ingredients.find({createdBy: currentUserId}).map(function (doc) {
         return {label: doc.ingredientName, value: doc._id};
        })
      }
    }
  },
  "recipeIngredients.$.amount": {
    type: String,
    label: "Amount",
    optional: true
  },
  "recipeIngredients.$.metric": {
    type: String,
    label: "Metric",
    optional: true
  },
  "recipeIngredients.$.condition": {
    type: String,
    label: "Condition",
    optional: true
  },
  "recipeIngredients.$.cost": {
    type: Number,
    label: "Cost",
    optional: true,
    decimal: true,
    autoform: {
      afFieldInput: {
        type: "hidden"
      },
      afFormGroup: {
        label: false
      }
    },
    autoValue:function(){
      console.log(this.field('recipeIngredients.ingredient').value);
      console.log(this.siblingField('recipeIngredients.ingredient').value);
      console.log(this.field('recipeIngredients.$.ingredient').value);
      console.log(this.field('recipeIngredients.0.ingredient').value);
      console.log(this.field('ingredient').value);
      console.log(this.siblingField('recipeIngredients.$.ingredient').value);
      console.log(this.siblingField('recipeIngredients.0.ingredient').value);
      console.log(this.siblingField('ingredient').value);
    }
  },

All of the console logs above return undefined.

If I use…
console.log(this.field('recipeIngredients'));

I get…

Object {isSet: true, value: Array[1], operator: "$set"} isSet: true operator: "$set" value: Array[1] 0: Object amount: "400" ingredient: "vLmoGvbrW2zLoxWXs" <-- THIS IS THE VALUE I NEED metric: "grams" __proto__: Object length: 1 __proto__: Array[0] __proto__: Object

How can I get the value of the “ingredient”?
Thanks

Have you had any luck with this? I also am in a similar situation where I need to check a value from an array.
