    <p>I'm scratching my head here, as usual it seems with node projects, and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if I've run into a bug. </p> <p>I've got a schema of Server that can have any number of embedded docs called services. I'm running into a problem though where, even though I've successfully removed the individual service from the server object, when I tell it to save it doesn't remove it from the database. The save function is working because it's saving any changes I've made and is also pushing in new embedded docs, it's just not removing one that are already there. </p> <p>Here is a relatively simplified example of my code:</p> <pre><code>app.put('/server/:id', function(req, res, next){ app.Server.findOne({_id: req.params.id}, function(err, server) { server.updated = new Date(); ... for (var num = _.size(req.body.server.services) - 1; num &gt;= 0; num--){ // Is this a new service or an existing one if (server.services[num]) { // Is it marked for deletion? If so, delete it if (req.body.server.services[num].delete == "true") { server.services[num].remove() } else { // else, update it server.services[num].type = req.body.server.services[num].type ... } } else { // It's new, add it delete req.body.server.services[num]["delete"] server.services.push(req.body.server.services[num]); } } server.save(function(err){ if (!err) { req.flash('success', 'Server updated') } else { req.flash('error', 'Err, Something broke when we tried to save your server. Sorry!') console.log(err) } res.redirect('/') }); }) }); </code></pre> <p>So the remove() is actually removing the service. If I do a server.toObject() before the save, it's not there. Any ideas why it wouldn't be removing it from the database when it saves?</p> <p>Edit: I suppose the version numbers would be helpful. node@0.4.2, mongoose@1.1.5 express@2.0.0rc</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
