  <p>This Node-Red node is to create an Object-Id for mongodb write operations from JSON inputs.</p></br>

  <p>The selected property in `msg.payload` will be converted to an Object-Id,
    you can input a 24 char hexstring via `_id` property and it creates an Object-Id.</p>

  <p>If there is none of the property the node will add that property with an Object-Id.</p>

  <p>For example: <code>msg.payload._id = "572dbc06f307c8682045c55c"</code></p>

  <p>If the target property value is null/false/0, a random Object-Id is created.</p>
