How to access inner object in keystoneJS - node.js

Question

Say I have a model like
University.add({
university_id: { type: Types.Number, required: true, initial: true, index: true, unique: true },
name: { type: Types.Text, required: true, index: true },
address: { type: Types.Text, initial: true, required: false, index: false }
});
University.schema.add({
"inner_object": {
"name": String,
"phone": String,
"comment": String
}
});
I tried updating the object using getUpdateHandler()
University.model.findOne().where('university_id', universityData.university_id).exec(function (err, university) {
university.getUpdateHandler(req, res).process(req.body, {
fields: "name, address, 'inner_object.name', 'inner_object.phone', 'inner_object.comment'"
}, function(err) {
if(err) {
console.log(err);
res.json({ status: false, data: null, message: 'Error while creating university'});
} else {
res.json({ message: 'University updated successfully', status: true, data: university});
}
});
});
Iam getting an error UpdateHandler.process called with invalid field path: inner_object.name
Please update if anyone went through the same scenario

You're adding the inner_object outside of keystone, directly through mongoose, which means keystone won't have knowledge about its existence. Just add it to the first configuration object:
University.add({
university_id: { type: Types.Number, required: true, initial: true, index: true, unique: true },
name: { type: Types.Text, required: true, index: true },
address: { type: Types.Text, initial: true, required: false, index: false },
inner_object: {
name: {type:String},
phone: {type:String},
comment: {type:String}
}
});
