Hi Florian,

Yes the property is updatable and it doesn't require a check-out. Like I stated 
below, it does work when using the setPropertyMultivalue method. I provide a 
List<BigInteger> to the method which does not contain null values. Other single 
value properties however can be null, so we'd like to use the Map approach for 
all properties to be consistent.

This is my description of the property in my alfresco model XML:

<property name="park:documentCreationDate">
        <type>d:datetime</type>
</property>
<property name="park:userAssignmentStaffNumbers">
        <type>d:int</type>
        <multiple>true</multiple>
</property>

This is a simplified snippet from the code:

List<BigInteger> staffNumbers = new ArrayList<BigInteger>();
staffNumbers.add(new BigInteger("123"));

Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
properties.put("park:documentCreationDate", new Date()); //Single value 
property works
properties.put("park:userAssignmentStaffNumbers", staffNumbers);

// works: document.setPropertyMultivalue("park:userAssignmentStaffNumbers", 
staffNumbers);
document.updateProperties(properties);

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Mano Swerts
