Mongoose push value in array inside array

Question

My model:

Restaurant = mongoose.Schema(
  name: String
  menuItems: [
    name: String
    dishes: [
      name: String
    ]
  ] 
)

I'll need to push item to 'dishes' array:

Restaurant.update {id: restID, 'menuItems.id': menuItemID}
                  $addToSet: {'menuItems.$.dishes': newDish}
                  (err, res) ->
                     ...

But nothing happens. What I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any advise.

The virtual id field can't be used when updating; you have to use the actual _id name instead:

Restaurant.update {_id: restID, 'menuItems._id': menuItemID},
                  $addToSet: {'menuItems.$.dishes': newDish}
                  (err, res) ->
                     ...
