Re: Modify only one attribute that has multiple values of the same name

There is no such thing as "modify" on a multivalued attribute.  As
mentioned by Francis, you will have to delete the value you want to change
and add a new one in place of it.  The real warning is that you never
really want to use the changetype: replace on a multi-valued attribute.
 This is because you will essentially be deleting-all existing value and
replacing it with the new value you are adding.  Most often than not, this
is not what you want to do.
