Operation Document.AddItemToListProperty (Adds an Entry Into a Multivalued Complex Property)

Description

This operation can add new entries to a multivalued complex property. The xpath parameter is the property that should be updated (e.g.: contract:customers). The value parameter is a String containing the JSON-formatted list of entries to add. E.g.: assuming a Contract document type holding customers, each having a firstName and lastName property: [{"lastName":"Norris", "firstName": "Chuck"}, {"lastName":"Lee", "firstName": "Bruce"}] . Activating the save parameter forces the changes to be written in database immediately (at the cost of performance loss), otherwise changes made to the document will be written in bulk when the chain succeeds.

Save parameter has to be turned off when this operation is used in the context of the empty document created, about to create, before document modification, document modified events.
