CastError: Cast to Embedded failed for value

See original GitHub issue

Upgrading to 4.6.2 is causing an error to be thrown:

CastError: Cast to Embedded failed for value  "{ label: 'DEFAULT LABEL',
  token: '',
  _id: 'r1LxVo1gA' }" at path "childSchemaKey" at MongooseError.CastError

We have a schema that used the the above schema { label, token, id } as a child under they key ‘childSchemaKey’. 4.6.1 and prior does not throw any errors.

Any idea what is causing this?

Looks like the embedded value is a string not an object @sandeepaboutclinic . Check typeof doc.address before saving.
