does it support populating type String ? about mongoose-autopopulate

[firstpersoncode]

alright, my app crashed because I tried autopopulate field with type String..

{
        "message": "Cast to ObjectId failed for value \"Page-wMnot7nkUXFsujTtkSrtO19p\" at path \"_id\" for model \"Page\"",
        "name": "CastError",
        "stringValue": "\"Page-wMnot7nkUXFsujTtkSrtO19p\"",
        "kind": "ObjectId",
        "value": "Page-wMnot7nkUXFsujTtkSrtO19p",
        "path": "_id"
},

You can set autopopulate on a string, but remember that both the local field and foreign field must be strings. In your case, you're setting autopopulate on a string, but the foreign models IDs are ObjectIds, not string.
