collection.addField not working if schema is simpl-schema

[ErikDakoda]

Try this:

  collection.attachSchema({
    addedField1: {
      type: Boolean,
      . . .
    },
    addedField2: {
      type: Object,
      . . .
    },
  });

It's already in the addField function and it used to work in the release of november

Vulcan/packages/vulcan-lib/lib/modules/collections.js

Lines 76 to 89 in f5012d1

	Mongo.Collection.prototype.addField = function (fieldOrFieldArray) {
	const collection = this;
	const fieldSchema = {};
	const fieldArray = Array.isArray(fieldOrFieldArray) ? fieldOrFieldArray : [fieldOrFieldArray];
	// loop over fields and add them to schema (or extend existing fields)
	fieldArray.forEach(function (field) {
	fieldSchema[field.fieldName] = field.fieldSchema;
	});
	// add field schema to collection schema
	collection.attachSchema(createSchema(merge(collection.options.schema, fieldSchema)));
	};

@EloyID there is a bug in addField that I attempted to fix with a PR but the change was reverted by @SachaG. Here is our discussion about it: #2648 . My solution above is the workaround I am using.
