[BUG] Populate: Currently populating only the first element of an array

[rohit-arium]

Summary:

As you can see in the schema, I have defined category in SubListingSchema as model and it is used in ListingsSchema. But when populating the listing, only the first element of the rooms array is populated by category and not the second one.

Code sample:

Schema

const PropSchema = new Schema({
  id: String,
  name: String,
  model_3d: {
    type: String,
    get: async (value) => await getImageUrl(value),
  }
})

const SubListingSchema = new Schema({
  id: {
    type: String,
    default: uuidv4,
  },
  name: String,
  category: model(getModelName('Location'), LocationSchema),
  image: {
    type: String,
    get: async (value) => await getImageUrl(value),
  },
  dimensions: String,
  props: {
    type: Array,
    schema: [PropSchema],
  },
})

export const ListingsSchema = new Schema(
  {
    id: {
      type: String,
      default: uuidv4,
      hashKey: true,
    },
    name: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
    },
    theme: model(getModelName('Theme'), ThemeSchema),
    uploaded_on: {
      type: Date,
      required: true,
    },
    uploaded_by: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
    },
    image: {
      type: String,
      get: async (value) => {
        return await getImageUrl(value)
      },
    },
    rooms: {
      type: Array,
      schema: [SubListingSchema],
    },
  },
  {
    timestamps: true,
  },
)

Current output and behavior (including stack trace):

Expected output and behavior:

Not sure if it is related but I was running into a similar issue because I didn't mention throughput while creating the Table, I changed it to the following to avoid it:

this._table = new Table('...', [this._model], {
      create: true, // Create if Table doesn't exist
      update: true, // Update the metadata like tags, throughput etc when initializing
      initialize: false, // Don't run initialization automatically but by calling .initialize()
      throughput: {
        // If set, this is the MAX boundary of the records that can be read/write
        read: 150, // Dynamoose Default = 1
        write: 20, // Dynamoose Default = 1
      },
    });

You can choose the throughput as Pay as you go but you would need to see how it fits in your pricing.

Hope it helps
