When trying to run db.posts.update, receive error.

When I try to run db.posts.update as shown in video, I receive following error message:

"errmsg": ">1 field in obj: { tags: [ \"foo\", \"bar\", \"interesting\" ], title: \"I'm an Updated Title!\" }"

Here's my statement:

db.posts.find({author: ObjectId("5a3201ab48e2b371eafe230f")}, {$set: {tags: ['foo', 'bar', 'interesting'], title: "I'm an Updated Title!"}})

That looks like a .find statement. What does your .update statement look like?

Aaaaand...that was the issue. I notice the longer I go at this, the more tired I get and miss stupid stuff like that.

Thanks, Dave.
