Update collection with dot notation not working

help
1

I’m trying to update a collection like so…

 Groups.update(
        {
          _id: groupId
        },
        {
          $set: {
            "layout.boxes": data.layoutBoxes,
          }
        }
      );

However, since upgrading to 1.8, I’m now seeing this error:

Error: key layout.boxes must not contain '.'

This appears to still be valid syntax in Mongo 4.0: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/update/set/

Do I need to switch syntax, or is this a bug?

Cheers
Chris

Never mind. I’ve just realised that the problem is with a parent collection that this one inherits from.
