Validation error after Mongoose version update: owner.$populated is not a function

After updating to last version of Mongoose (6.6.1), the .save() of a Document now raises an error, while before was saving without problems. It's about the validation of a field, marked as Date, but it seems ok to me. Anyway I get the error owner.$populated is not a function.

What's the problem? And why the error talks about ownerfield?

This is the Object

 new MyTask({
        "source": {
                    "client_id" : "ABC",
                    "ip"        : "127.0.0.1"
                  },
       "invoice": {
                    "amount"    : 1000,
                    "currency"  : "eur",
                    "dueAt"     : "2022-10-23T14:55:57.482Z",
                    "issuedAt"  : "2022-07-25T13:55:57.480Z",
                    "number"    : "724/001"        
                  }
    }).save();

This is the Schema

var invoice_schema = new Schema({
                "amount"   : {type:Number,    required:true},
                "currency" : {type:String,    required:true}, 
                "dueAt"    : {type:Date,      required:true}, 
                "issuedAt" : {type:Date,      required:true},
                "number"   : {type:String}                    
                                },
               {
                timestamps:true,
                toObject  : { virtuals: true },
                toJSON    :   { virtuals: true }  
               });

var MYTASK_SCHEMA = new Schema(
  {
   source : {
              ip         : {type: String},
              client_id  : {type: String}
             },        
   invoice: {type        : invoice_schema}
  },
  {
   timestamps:true,
   toObject: { virtuals: true },
   toJSON  : { virtuals: true }  
  });

And this is the error:

Error: MyTask validation failed: 
          invoice.dueAt: owner.$populated is not a function, 
          invoice.issuedAt: owner.$populated is not a function, 
          invoice: Validation failed:

              issuedAt: owner.$populated is not a function

after some checks, I found that one of the packages listed in package.json, have a dependency with an older version of mongoose. I found this doing

$npm list mongoose

servers@1.0.0 /app
    +-- @mypackage/api_core@1.0.36
    | +-- @mypackage/misc@1.0.29
    | | `-- mongoose@6.6.1 deduped
    | +-- @mypackage/task@1.0.21
    | | `-- mongoose@5.8.11      /* <-- this one broke everything */
    | `-- @mypackage/user@1.0.12
    |   `-- mongoose@6.6.1 deduped
    +-- @mypackage/auth@1.0.6
    | +-- @mypackage/bank@1.0.14
    | | `-- mongoose@6.6.1 deduped

Updating that package to use the last version of Mongoose, seems worked!
