Description

The document contains a field of type Map, where the values are arrays of something (e.g., numbers). If you do doc.map.get(key), modify the array (e.g., by adding a new value), and then call set(key), Mongoose generates an incorrect query for MongoDB. However, if you do the same thing but recreate the array after get(key) (e.g., [...doc.map.get(key)]), then Mongoose generates the correct query for MongoDB.

Steps to Reproduce

"use strict";

import mongoose from "mongoose";

console.log("Mongoose version", mongoose.version);

await mongoose.connect("mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/mongoose_test");
await mongoose.connection.dropDatabase();
mongoose.set("debug", true);

const DocSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  map: {
    type: Map,
    of: [{ type: Number }],
    default: new Map(),
  },
});
const Doc = mongoose.model("Doc", DocSchema);

const doc = await Doc.create({});
console.log("just created", doc);

doc.map.set("key", [1, 2]);
await doc.save();
console.log("key set", doc);

const list = doc.map.get("key");
// const list = [...doc.map.get("key")];
list.push(3);
doc.map.set("key", list);
await doc.save();
console.log("key get/push/set", doc);

const userLoaded = await Doc.findById(doc._id.toString());
console.log("from db", userLoaded);

Incorrect case (const list = doc.map.get("key");):

Mongoose version 8.13.2
Mongoose: docs.insertOne({ map: Map(0) {}, _id: ObjectId("67fac37873021776275453b0"), __v: 0 }, {})
just created {
  map: Map(0) {},
  _id: new ObjectId('67fac37873021776275453b0'),
  __v: 0
}
Mongoose: docs.updateOne({ _id: ObjectId("67fac37873021776275453b0"), __v: 0 }, { '$set': { 'map.key': [ 1, 2 ] }, '$inc': { __v: 1 } }, {})
key set {
  map: Map(1) { 'key' => [ 1, 2 ] },
  _id: new ObjectId('67fac37873021776275453b0'),
  __v: 1
}
Mongoose: docs.updateOne({ _id: ObjectId("67fac37873021776275453b0") }, { '$set': { 'map.$*': Map(1) { 'key' => [ 1, 2, 3 ] } }}, {})
key get/push/set {
  map: Map(1) { 'key' => [ 1, 2, 3 ] },
  _id: new ObjectId('67fac37873021776275453b0'),
  __v: 1
}
Mongoose: docs.findOne({ _id: ObjectId("67fac37873021776275453b0") }, {})
from db { _id: new ObjectId('67fac37873021776275453b0'), __v: 1 }

Correct case (const list = [...doc.map.get("key")];):

Mongoose version 8.13.2
Mongoose: docs.insertOne({ map: Map(0) {}, _id: ObjectId("67fac4c4564026e97c390825"), __v: 0 }, {})
just created {
  map: Map(0) {},
  _id: new ObjectId('67fac4c4564026e97c390825'),
  __v: 0
}
Mongoose: docs.updateOne({ _id: ObjectId("67fac4c4564026e97c390825"), __v: 0 }, { '$set': { 'map.key': [ 1, 2 ] }, '$inc': { __v: 1 } }, {})
key set {
  map: Map(1) { 'key' => [ 1, 2 ] },
  _id: new ObjectId('67fac4c4564026e97c390825'),
  __v: 1
}
Mongoose: docs.updateOne({ _id: ObjectId("67fac4c4564026e97c390825"), __v: 1 }, { '$set': { 'map.key': [ 1, 2, 3 ] }, '$inc': { __v: 1 } }, {})
key get/push/set {
  map: Map(1) { 'key' => [ 1, 2, 3 ] },
  _id: new ObjectId('67fac4c4564026e97c390825'),
  __v: 2
}
Mongoose: docs.findOne({ _id: ObjectId("67fac4c4564026e97c390825") }, {})
from db {
  _id: new ObjectId('67fac4c4564026e97c390825'),
  map: Map(1) { 'key' => [ 1, 2, 3 ] },
  __v: 2
}

Difference in 3rd query - docs.updateOne: incorrect - ... '$set': { 'map.$*': Map(1) { 'key' => [ 1, 2, 3 ] } ... correct - ... '$set': { 'map.key': [ 1, 2, 3 ] } ...

Expected Behavior

Mongoose should generate correct queries to MongoDB in both cases.
