How to query an ObjectId field not named _id?

[aldokkani]

I cannot query based on objectId in this thing. {key: "<id>"} doesn't work {key: ObjectId("<id>")} doesn't work either!

Let ObjectId("6f358e03c3360000ef0076d4"), you can query with:

{ _id: "6f358e03c3360000ef0076d4" }

or

_id: "6f358e03c3360000ef0076d4"

The key in my case is "definitionId" it is not the _id and no this doesn't work {definitionId: "someid"}

Ah! That's why! 😉 Only ObjectId fields named _id are supported by MongoDB PHP GUI for now.
