    • Major Change

      Tangentially related to issue: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/MONGOID-4816

      Mongoose lets you optionally specify which field to use as the discriminator for subclasses, rather than just hardcoding _type.

      It would be nice if Mongoid had an macro/option to do the same.

      Scope of work:

      Investigate how mongoose and doctrine handle overriding discriminator field name
      Write a proposed design document
      Adjust submitted PR or implemented design in another way as appropriate
      Define test plan
      Write tests to satisfy test plan
      Add user documentation to tutorial
