Index out of range while using PUT method on flask_mongoengine API - flask

Question

My code for the PUT method,
#app.route('/update_doc/<id>', methods=["PUT"])
def update_method(id):
body = request.get_json()
updated_document = db_collection.objects.get(id=id).update(**body)
#document.modify(**body)
return 'success', 200
I am getting the following error,
Traceback (most recent call last):

IndexError: list index out of range
The remaining Post, Delete, Get methods are working.
I am giving the input through the postman.
Delete method
#app.route('/stores/<id>', methods=['DELETE'])
def delete_doc(id):
stores = Store_collection.objects.get(id=id).delete()
return 'successfully deleted.', 200

After browsing through the internet, I found out that I specified the field name as "type" in my MongoDB database. After understanding this, I changed "type" --> "types". Now it's working properly.
I understood this by reading the following GitHub issue --> https://github.com/MongoEngine/mongoengine/issues/1194.
Also, the same issue is similar to the word "size". Hope this might be helpful for someone.
