Old values reapear in multivalue fields

When using numeric multivalue field, and setting the field with some values with
doc.replaceItemValue( fieldname, arrayOfNumbers ).

Then clearing the values with
doc.replaceItemValue( fieldname, “” ) or doc.removeItem( fieldname ) and setting the field with other values, OLD Values reappear !

Where do they come from?

With text multivalue fields it works normally.

'Call doc.Replaceitemvalue(“numbers”, nums) 'before
Call doc.Replaceitemvalue(“numbers”, “”) 'after
