Add ObjectId() as property in MongoDB

I want to add references to other documents in a document but when I use adminMongo all properties containing ObjectId() is reset to the current documents ID when I save it. How do I set an ObjectId() from the shell instead? Or can I set it from adminMongo somehow?

This was an issue in earlier versions of adminMongo but the software now supports full BSON document formats.

From the shell you can set an ObjectId() by using this command:

db.collection.update({"_id" : ObjectId("570513aa1a0a4c4808842522")}, {$set:{"user": ObjectId("562532fd4655f16309601d93"), "organization": ObjectId("564dda1cdbb0477805afa654")}})

If you want an array with multiple id:s then just use $addToSet instead of $set.
