return Role;
};

  exports.addRoleFields = ( req , res ) => {
      const {  role } = req.body

      roles
       .insert(roles)
       .then(data => {
         res.status(200).send({data,statusCode:"200"});
       })

Try this:

exports.addRoleFields = (req, res) => {
    const roles = req.body; // const { role } assignment wasn't correct
 
    Role
        .insertMany(roles)
        .then(data => {
            res.status(200).send({ data, statusCode: "200" });
        })
        .catch(err => {
            res.status(500).send({
                message: err.message || "Some error occurred while creating.",
                statusCode: "500"
            });
        })
})    
}
