Since MongoDB version 3.2 you can use updateMany():
> db.yourCollection.updateMany({}, {$set:{"someField": "someValue"}})
Pymongo 3.9+
update()
is now deprecated and you should use replace_one()
, update_one()
, or update_many()
instead.
In my case I used update_many()
and it solved my issue:
db.your_collection.update_many({}, {"$set": {"new_field": "value"}}, upsert=False, array_filters=None)
From documents
update_many(filter, update, upsert=False, array_filters=None, bypass_document_validation=False, collation=None, session=None) filter: A query that matches the documents to update. update: The modifications to apply. upsert (optional): If True, perform an insert if no documents match the filter. bypass_document_validation (optional): If True, allows the write to opt-out of document level validation. Default is False. collation (optional): An instance of Collation. This option is only supported on MongoDB 3.4 and above. array_filters (optional): A list of filters specifying which array elements an update should apply. Requires MongoDB 3.6+. session (optional): a ClientSession.
To clarify, the syntax is as follows for MongoDB version 4.0.x:
db.collection.update({},{$set: {"new_field*":1}},false,true)
Here is a working example adding a published field to the articles collection and setting the field's value to true:
db.articles.update({},{$set: {"published":true}},false,true)
if you are using mongoose try this,after mongoose connection
async ()=> await Mongoose.model("collectionName").updateMany({}, {$set: {newField: value}})
