uuid not being saved in mongodb

I'm trying to generate a UUID when a form is filled out and is posted to the server. MongoDB is picking up all the records except for userId. Ideally I want the UUID to be the parent, unique to each user (which I'll store in a cookie), and entry search submission will be the child of the UUID.

How come the UUID is not being stored along with the search data if it's being produced and available. I've changed the userId in the schema from Number to String with no avail.

Mongoose Schema

var SearchSchema = mongoose.Schema({
  userId: String,
  search: {
    firstName: String,
    lastName: String,
    email: String
  }
})

Save data to DB

  var firstName = req.body.firstName
  var lastName = req.body.lastName
  var email = req.body.email
  var userID = generateUUID()

  console.log(userID) // This works

  // Push to DB
  var data = new Search({
    userID: userID, // This doesn't appear to be stored
    search: {
      firstName: firstName,
      lastName: lastName,
      email: email
    }
  })

  Search.createSearch(data, function(err, search){
    if (err) throw err
    console.log('hello' + search)
  })

Console

{ search: 
   { email: '@rhysedwards.com',
     lastName: 'edwards',
     firstName: 'rhys' },
  _id: 5720d8211a44fac4dd6657c1 }

Fields in MongoDB/Mongoose are case sensitive. Your schema calls the field userId but the object you store in the database has the field userID. Note the capitalization of the D.
