Note that, for maps and lists, there is nothing to set. Maps are purely
containers for other vectors. Lists (you didn't mention whether "repeated" or
"non-repeated") are also containers. Non-repeated lists are containers for
unions, repeated-lists are containers for arrays.
Any setting should be done on the contained vectors. For lists, only the offset
vector is updated.
So, another question is: what is the generated code trying to set?
