Try this:
app.post('/form1', function (req, res, next) {
record.findOneAndUpdate({"_id": ObjectId("THE ID IN MLAB")}, req.body, {new: true}, function (err, doc) {
if (err) {
res.status(500).end()
} else {
res.status(200).end()
}
})
});

@stack My bad, I should've explained. I've updated the code. Replace your /form1 handler with this. This should work.

Hey @stack, that's a different problem. Have a look at stackoverflow.com/q/32368096/2691993 , stackoverflow.com/q/34158112/2691993 and stackoverflow.com/q/48150072/2691993 . I suggest you read a little about transferring data from server to client. If you're stuck, you can always create a new question with your specific problems. Hope that helps.
Try updating your record instead of inserting a new one. To update your record your record must contain an immutable field.
