Nested MongoDB document issue (Mongoose and Node Js) - node.js

Question

I am facing some issues while inserting data into nested documents structure of mongoDb.
Following is the Mongoose Model:
const funnel = new mongoose.Schema({
funnelName:{
type:String,
unique:true
},
group: String,
category: String,
funnelStep: {
stepType: String,
stepName: String,
stepPath: String,
isTracking: Boolean,
viewsStorage: []
} })
Below is the push I am sending to Db:
router.post('/createFunnel',async (req,res)=>{
if(!req.body.funnelName || !req.body.group || !req.body.category)
{return res.status(422).json({error:"Please add all the fields."})}
try{
const funnelSteps = []
funnelSteps.push({
stepType: req.body.stepType,
stepName: req.body.stepName,
stepPath: req.body.stepPath,
isTracking: req.body.isTracking,
viewsStorage: req.body.viewsStorage
})
const funnels = new Funnel({
funnelName : req.body.funnelName,
group : req.body.group,
category : req.body.category,
funnelStep : funnelSteps
})
await funnels.save(function(err){
if(err){
return res.status(422).send({error: err.message})
}
return res.json(funnels)
})
} catch(err){
return res.status(422).send({error: err.message})
} })
Below is the data structure I am sending through postman:
{
"funnelName":"Name-Funnel",
"group":"AVC",
"category":"XYZ",
"funnelStep":[
{
"stepType":"Advert",
"stepName":"Angle",
"stepPath":"google.com",
"isTracking":1,
"viewsStorage":[0,0]
},
{
"stepType":"Optin",
"stepName":"Ver 1",
"stepPath":"fb.com",
"isTracking":1,
"viewsStorage":[1,0]
},
{
"stepType":"Check",
"stepName":"rev-cat",
"stepPath":"google.com",
"isTracking":0,
"viewsStorage":[2,0]
}
] }
Below is the output I am getting in response:
{
"funnelStep": {
"viewsStorage": []
},
"_id": "5ec0ff78a6dfab18f4210e96",
"funnelName": "Testing The Latest Method4",
"group": "AVC",
"category": "XYZ",
"__v": 0
}
How can I fix this issue as my data is not getting inserted properly?
And apart from this, in the viewsStorage array, how to store date and a number which will increment after a certain operations and will get saved in the array according to the dates?

I think there is an issue in the funnelSteps array creation part. You are trying to get data directly from req.body instead of req.body.funnelStep
const funnelSteps = []
req.body.funnelStep.forEach(fs => {
funnelSteps.push({
stepType: fs.stepType,
stepName: fs.stepName,
stepPath: fs.stepPath,
isTracking: fs.isTracking,
viewsStorage: fs.viewsStorage
})
})
Schema
const funnel = new mongoose.Schema({
funnelName:{
type:String,
unique:true
},
group: String,
category: String,
funnelStep: [{
stepType: String,
stepName: String,
stepPath: String,
isTracking: Boolean,
viewsStorage: []
}] })
