Description

Setting an empty multi valued property of a certain type is not possible through SPI. The type is not available on the SPI layer:

parentNode.setProperty("myProp", new Value[0], PropertyType.BOOLEAN);

causes a call to

Batch.setValue(PropertyId propertyId, QValue[] values)

in the SPI. Since values is an empty array, there is no means for retrieving the original type.
