Meteor - insert nested data/object

Question

I have an insert query:

Activity.insert ({
      activityType: this.activityType,
      bib: $("input#checkin").val(),
      "legacy.eventId": Session.get("eventIdLegacy"),
      checkpointNumber: Session.get("checkpointNumber")
    });

Currently, it chokes on "legacy.eventId" with the message

Exception while invoking method '/activity/insert' Error: key legacy.eventId must not contain '.'

What is the correct syntax to insert into a nested mongoldb field?

If legacy is an object array, you could insert the data as:

Activity.insert({
      activityType: this.activityType,
      bib: $("input#checkin").val(),
      legacy: [
            { eventId: Session.get("eventIdLegacy") }
      ],
      checkpointNumber: Session.get("checkpointNumber")
});

else:

Activity.insert({
      activityType: this.activityType,
      bib: $("input#checkin").val(),
      legacy: { 
           eventId: Session.get("eventIdLegacy") 
      },
      checkpointNumber: Session.get("checkpointNumber")
});
