Need to clear values from Value[] valArrAME

[SUNITACH1]

Dear All,

I am setting some metadata value from Sitecore to AEM using below code.

But here issue is that same assignedEditor Value is setting in the both metadata fields mc:assignedEditor and dcterms:creator , because I am not able to clear the value from Value[] valArrAME

Can anyone please help me here ?

Hi @SUNITACH1 
Try to move global variable inside 

def multiStringDataTypeAME(sitecoreproperty) {
Value[] valArrAME

.....
return valArrAME // no need to call save() inside this function
}

and return the value to caller function.

Value[] valArrAME = multiStringDataTypeAME(sitecoreAssignEditorValue)
Value[] valArrAME = multiStringDataTypeAME(sitecoreCreatorValue)

 
This is how you will have a correct value.
