Cause
For multi-valued attribute, the new values always wipe out the old values when user object is persisted. This behavior is by design. The multi-valued attribute allows duplicate values, for example, [1, 2, 2, 1, 0]. One request may add more values and another one may remove some values.
Resolution
This is a functional limitation of the application and is working as designed. In order to add multiple-values the request must be made within the same workflow.
The use case is as such:
User submits request 1 - requesting to add roles 1,2,3; workflow is pending
The use case is as such:
User submits request 1 - requesting to add roles 1,2,3; workflow is pending
Approver approves request 1
User now has roles 1,2,3
