Usage set Set or replace the field value(s) with the specified value(s), or *remove the values if 'null' or empty list is specified as the new value.* May be specified as a single value, or as a list for multivalued fields add Adds the specified values to a multivalued field. May be specified as a single value, or as a list. remove Removes (all occurrences of) the specified values from a multivalued field. May be specified as a single value, or as a list. removeregex Removes all occurrences of the specified regex from a multiValued field. May be specified as a single value, or as a list. inc Increments a numeric value by a specific amount. Must be specified as a single numeric value. In my opinion "set" is the right direction to look into. Not sure what happens if you use the remove to remove only a single valued field value. Can you explain us what you noticed ? An empty value remain for that field ? It is kind of weird, I would expect the field to become null.
