Mongo Query to modify the existing field value with new value + array of objects - arrays

Question

I want to update many documents based on the condition in MongoDB.
MODEL is the collection which has the document with below information.
"info": [
{
"field1": "String1",
"field2": "String2"
},
{
"field1": "String1",
"field2": "String_2"
}
],
"var": "x"
I need to update all the "String1" value of field1 with "STRING_NEW". I used the below query to update but not working as expected.
db.model.updateMany(
{ "info.field1": { $exists: true } },
[
{ "$set": {
"info": {
"$map": {
"input": "$info.field1",
"in": {
"$cond": [
{ "$eq": ["$$this.field1", "String1"] },
"STRING_NEW",
$$this.field1
]
}
}
}
} }
]
)
Please have a look and suggest if anything is to be modified in the above query.

Solution 1
With the update with aggregation pipeline, you should iterate the object in info array and update the iterated object by merging the current object with new field1 field via $mergeObjects.
db.model.updateMany({
"info.field1": "String1"
},
[
{
"$set": {
"info": {
"$map": {
"input": "$info",
"in": {
"$cond": [
{
"$eq": [
"$$this.field1",
"String1"
]
},
{
$mergeObjects: [
"$$this",
{
"field1": "STRING_NEW"
}
]
},
"$$this"
]
}
}
}
}
}
])

Can also work with $[<identifier>] positional filtered operator and arrayFilters.
db.model.updateMany({
"info.field1": "String1"
},
{
"$set": {
"info.$[info].field1": "STRING_NEW"
}
},
{
arrayFilters: [
{
"info.field1": "String1"
}
]
})
