mongoose access current value before updating it inside findOneAndUpdate

Question

I have the following code

let doc = await IssueModel.findOne({ content_id }) IssueModel.findOneAndUpdate({ content_id }, { $set: { assigned_user, status: doc.status==='done' ? 'done' : 'ongoing' } })

I'm looking for a shorter way to omit the first line, and access status current value before updating it inside the findOneAndUpdate , something similar to this maybe. I want to update status only if it's different from 'done'.

You can use this to save as well

let doc = await IssueModel.findOne({ content_id }) if(doc.status !== 'done') { doc.status = 'ongoing' await doc.save(); return res.json({success: true}) } res.json({success: true});

yup, this is a better solution than mine, thanks. (though i'm still looking for an answer on whether it is possible or not to access the old value inside findOneAndUpdate)
