 The most important thing to remember to do is to have brackets around the LHS expression - otherwise what `yq` will do is first filter by the selection, and then, separately, update the filtered result and return that subset.
 
 ```

+yq '(.foo.bar[] | select(.name == "fred") | .apple) = "cool"'
 ```
