    // Error
    let obj: any = {};
    obj['forms.dealerLicense'] = doc.id;

    // Error
    let obj: any = {};
    obj['forms.dealerLicense'] = doc;

    // Error
    let obj: any = {
      forms: { dealerLicense: doc.id }
    };

forms: {a: '', b: ''}

forms: { dealerLicense: doc.id }

"forms":{"dealerLicense":"648c58b68962b04a9f60ddf9"}

  Example Collection
  

  
  

  This is the "forms" field group on my example collection
  
   {
        name: "forms",
        label: "Forms / Documents",
        type: "group",
        fields: [
          {
            name: "dealerLicense",
            label: "Dealer License",
            type: "upload",
            relationTo: "dealer-documents",
            required: false,
          },
          {
            name: "exampleb",
            type: "upload",
            relationTo: "dealer-documents",
            required: false,
          },
          {
            name: "examplec",
            type: "upload",
            relationTo: "dealer-documents",
            required: false,
          },
          {
            name: "exampled",
            type: "upload",
            relationTo: "dealer-documents",
            required: false,
          },
        ],
      },

  
  

  
  

  Upload Enabled collection
  

  
  

  const DealerDocuments: CollectionConfig = {
    slug: "dealer-documents",
    access: {
      read: () => true,
      update: () => true,
      create: () => true,
      delete: () => true,
    },
    upload: {
      staticURL: "/payload/uploads/dealer-documents",
      staticDir:
        process.env.NODE_ENV === "production"
          ? process.env.PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_UPLOAD_PATH_PROD
          : process.env.PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_UPLOAD_PATH_DEV,
      imageSizes: [],
      adminThumbnail: "thumbnail",
      mimeTypes: ["application/pdf", "image/*"],
    },
    fields: [
      {
        name: "dealerId",
        label: "Dealership ID",
        type: "text",
        required: true,
      },
    ],
  };

  
  

  
  

  Client method to update Example collection with uploaded doc
  

  
  

    public updateDealerForms(token: string, docId: string, doc: DealerDocument) {
    // Note: docId was being used as the key for obj.forms (e.g. "dealerLicense") but I'm manually setting it here
      let obj: any = {};
      obj['forms.dealerLicense'] = doc.id;
  
      return this.http
        .patch(this.apiRoot + 'dealerships/' + token, obj)
        .pipe(
          catchError((error: HttpErrorResponse) =>
            throwError(() => new Error(error.message))
          )
        );
    }

  
  

  
  

  Client method to upload document
  

  
  

    /** Dealership Application - Document Uploads */
    public uploadDealerDocument(token: string, file: File) {
      const formData = new FormData();
      formData.append('dealerId', token);
      formData.append('file', file);
  
      return this.http
        .post<{ message: string; doc: DealerDocument }>(
          this.apiRoot + 'dealer-documents',
          formData
        )
        .pipe(
          catchError((error: HttpErrorResponse) =>
            throwError(() => new Error(error.message))
          )
        );
    }

  hmmm, well to start I do think you should be sending your data in object form like you showed in your attempts above

  
  

  {
    forms: {
      dealerLicense: doc.id
    }
  }

  @jarrod69420 When I try that format, I get

   BSONTypeError: Argument passed in must be a string of 12 bytes or a string of 24 hex characters or an integer

  
  

  
  

  wait maybe not

  
  

  
  

  IT LIVES

  
  

  
  

  not sure what i did differently though

  Yes @jarrod69420 - maybe it was how I shaped my object, but it seems to be OK now

  
  

  
  

  Thank you 🙂
