node.js - Path Collision Error Mongoose Select Subdocument Fields

Question

I understand it's an issue with my projection but I don't fully understand what I'm doing wrong as this worked until a recent MongoDB upgrade.

I am using Mongoose and Node.JS.

await UserModel.findOne({ username: 'test' }).sort({ createdOn: 1 }).select('username  authorization.type authorization.homepage').exec();

My User has an Authorization subdocument inside of it with fields _id, type, createdOn, and homepage.

I'm not sure what exactly is wrong with what I am trying to do, any ideas?

I do have a pre find hook that will populate the reference fields in a schema for a model.

I wonder if that has something to do with it.
