setParent only updates the parentId, not the path

[baoyicai]

tried to use the setParent to change the parentId and the path, looks like only the parentId is changed, the actual path is not updated. anyone had the same issue?

Also, wondering if setParent will update the children's paths as well?

The setParent method only set the parentId from document._id or id.
The doc.save() method trigger the path update based on parentId.

Check the recommended methods section.
Only doc.save() / doc.remove() / etc. trigger the path update.
