I'm unable to get the array union or increment to work properly in firebase cloud functions.
return docRef.update({
object: {
count: admin.firestore.FieldValue.increment(1),
list: admin.firestore.FieldValue.arrayUnion({
space_id: newData.date_id,
user: {
displayName: "john doe"
}
})
}
When the function runs, it simply overwrites the existing data in the list array and the count is always set to 1 even though it currently exists and is of number type.

Following you comment, here is below the HTML code I tried. Note that it is not Cloud Function code (which uses the Admin SDK) but some JavaScript code using the JavaScript SDK. But most probably the Admin SDK has the same behavior.
To try it do as follows:
testSO in Firestore and a doc with ID doc1 and one dummy field.You will see that both arrayUnion and increment work when used with an array of strings for arrayUnion (field array1) and a number for increment (field count1) but not with the compounded object.
