update Mongoose Model with new schmea

Question

1. I have a mongoose schema named child.

    child = {
    "IsActive": {
        type: Boolean,
        default: true
    },
    "IsDeleted": {
        type: Boolean,
        default: false
    } }
   

2. based on this schema a mongoose model is created

let customerObject = mongoose.model("Initial", child);

3. Now, in some scenarios I need to update the child schema (e.g default : true for "isDeleted" only) after step 2.

    child = {
    "IsActive": {
        type: Boolean,
        default: true
    },
    "IsDeleted": {
        type: Boolean,
        default: true
    } }
   

Question: Is it possible to update the already created customerObject model with the latest schema? (i.e child from step3 )

It may be irrelevant but I tried to call the same model again after step 3, as

let customerObject = mongoose.model("Initial", child);

hoping that customerObject model can be created again with latest child schema, but I get the following error message in this case:

OverwriteModelError: Cannot overwrite `Initial` model once compiled.

I suspect $decodedData->descriptions is an array; try accessing the first element of that array with square brackets: $decodedData->descriptions[0]->name;
