Not all model values updating using .update() method

Question

I have sails js 0.11v and mongodb, when i use .update function of sails js, Except enum attrribute every other value is updating.

Here is my model

module.exports = {
    schema: true,
    attributes: {
        name: {
            type: 'string',
            required: true
        },
        type: {
            type: 'string',
            required: true,
            enum: ['open', 'user']
        },

        state: {
            type: 'integer',
            enum: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
            defaultsTo: 0

        }

    }

};

Below code is responsible for updating values

Challenge.update({
    id: '55e81f5998e63e7c1ebe4ab6'
}, {
    state: 2
}, {
    type: 'user'
}).exec(function afterwards(err, updated) {
    if (err) {
        return res.json(err);
    } else {
        return res.json(updated);
    }
});

but it dont update type and state parameter in challenge. It results old data

You are using separate objects for each field when they need to be all in the same object. That's why it fails. i.e `{ "state": 2, "type": "user" }` — Blakes Seven, Sep 11 '15 at 07:46
Umm. That's because the "first" document is the query and the "second" is the update. You are only meant to have "two". You have "three". Use what I told you as the "second". — Blakes Seven, Sep 11 '15 at 09:20
@BlakesSeven even though this is a bit of RTFM, might as well post your comment as an answer in case someone else is stumped doing the same thing. — sgress454, Sep 11 '15 at 15:53
@sgress454 The initial comment was pointing out the syntax error. The somewhat concerning now deleted comment poitned to an example from sails documentation that of course only updated a single field as the justification for adding an addional "object" to the update. So the lack of example or attribution to the core documentation is a concern. Somewhat related to the featured [Warlords of Documentation](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/303865/warlords-of-documentation-a-proposed-expansion-of-stack-overflow?cb=1) proposal, as if things are really that bad, then a finer manual is needed — Blakes Seven, Sep 12 '15 at 03:26

Actually i had the same issue a couple of minutes ago, the problem is that .update() accepts only 2 params, so you could edit according to the following:

Challenge.update({id:'55e81f5998e63e7c1ebe4ab6'}, {state: 2,type: 'user'}).exec(function afterwards(err, updated) { if (err) { return res.json(err); } else { return res.json(updated); } });

And it works!
