Here is the collection :

db.employees.insertMany([
   {
    "data": {
      "category": [
        {
          "name": "HELLO",
          "subcategory": [
            "EDUCATION",
            "ART",
            
          ]
        },
         {
          "name": "HELLO",
          "subcategory": [
            "GG",
            "ART",
            
          ]
        },
        {
          "name": "HELLO",
          "subcategory": [
            "EDUCATION",
            "SHORE",
            
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  {
    "data": {
      "category": [
        {
          "name": "HELLO",
          "subcategory": [
            "EDUCATION",
            "HELLO",
            
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  {
    "data": {
      "category": [
        {
          "name": "HELLO",
          "subcategory": [
            "GG",
            "ART",
            
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }
]);

What i want is to locate the elemets in ‘category’ with a ‘subcategory’ that contains ‘EDUCATION’ and replace ‘EDUCATION’ with another string, let’s say ‘SPORTS’.

i tried a couple of commands but nothing really did the job:

db.employees.updateMany({
  "data.category.subcategory": "EDUCATION"
},
{
  "$set": {
    "data.category.$": {
      "subcategory": "SPORTS"
    }
  }
})

What is saw is that it doesn’t update the element it replace it and it doesn’t replace every elements that meets the criteria.
