[Question]how to disable validation on objectId field?

[Wenyao Xue]

I recently take over a project, which uses django and mongodb. The "_id" in the mongodb database is not normal objectId type. Therefore, when querying the database using monogoegine, it throws an exception:

u'\u664bF779BS-460001241632524-86627801555819' is not a valid ObjectId, it must be a 12-byte input of type 'str' or a 24-character hex string

Can I disable the valication of the _id field?

Hello,

I believe you should be able to set a different field as your primary key. For example try:

class MyDocument(Document):
    id = DynamicField(primary_key=True, db_field="_id")

That should let you store any type of value as the ID if you’re only interested in querying the data. It would probably be a better idea to create a proper Field type for your primary key and add a custom validator.

Hope this help!
