}

I have a collection like this. What I want to do is search a project by ID, search a single member and find a specific report based on date property. If it is found, I want to update the hours. If it’s not, I want to create a new report object.

I’m creating a test app to learn meteor. Currently new to meteor and NoSQLs (mongoDB)

Thanks for the help :smile:
