Currently, the MongoDB writer doesn't allow me to add new attributes to an existing collection. It only allows me to write exactly what is present in the collection already. To get the attributes I want, I have to drop the collection and recreate it (drop and create), but that means losing existing data. I don't want to lose existing data, I don't want to re-read all data and I don't want an extra step of creating JSON in FME myself. See this Q&A also.
