duration should be of type Number.

Ah thanks. Silly me, I hadn’t even noticed that. I was putting the input from the form directly in the response without parsing it, so it was a String. It seems Mongoose casts the String to a Number when saving the object, because that wasn’t erroring at all.

Solved! Turns out date format was different on “empty date field” vs “filed”.
