I try to update my Eloquent model while bypassing the validation (because some items break their schema).

As I understand the mongodb package, it should be possible to pass an option ['bypassDocumentValidation' => true]

I tried to set this option both in the DB config

            'driver'   => 'mongodb',
             ...
            'username' => env('MONGO_DB_USERNAME'),
            'password' => env('MONGO_DB_PASSWORD'),
            'options'  => ['bypassDocumentValidation' => true]
        ],

as well as using the update

Brand::find($brand->_id)->update([$data, ['bypassDocumentValidation' => true]);
or 
$brand->save(['bypassDocumentValidation' => true]);

Every time, I still get the validation error ("Document failed validation").

How can I pass the option to MongoDB?

What version of `jenssegers/mongodb` are you using? – Oluwafemi Sule May 17 '22 at 22:40
using jenssegers/mongodb 3.9 (and laravel 9.12) – PepeNietnagel May 18 '22 at 13:14
Try making an entry like `'driver_options' => ['bypassDocumentValidation' => true]` in the DB config, – Oluwafemi Sule May 19 '22 at 00:31
@OluwafemiSule no, that didn't work – PepeNietnagel May 19 '22 at 14:50
Hmm, that's really weird since it's being passed down when the [connection is created](https://github.com/jenssegers/laravel-mongodb/blob/v3.9.0/src/Connection.php#L175) and also when the [query is performed](https://github.com/jenssegers/laravel-mongodb/blob/v3.9.0/src/Query/Builder.php#L857). My guess is that the driver may not be respecting this configuration at the end. – Oluwafemi Sule May 19 '22 at 18:08
