String should saved as objectId

[imonildoshi]

While finding a String which is actually an objectId, loopback-connector-mongodb converts it to ObjectId and then finds, which is perfect.

But while inserting, if a string is a foreign key and not an Id, it is not converted to ObjectId

What do you recommend? should we convert all the properties of regex /^[0-9a-fA-F]{24}$/ to objectId and then save

@imonildoshi , saw your same question posted in loopbackio/loopback-next#2085 (comment). Should we use that thread to continue to discussion? Thanks.
