I am quite new to the ACF JS API and I am trying to add a new user to a standard, User Array, multiple-value user field through this function,

function adduser(user) {
var users = acf.getField(‘field_6245d676d84e8’);
var userlist = users.val();
// This correctly gets an user array with the current users from my user field

newlist = userlist.push(user);
newlist = userlist.push(‘6’);
// Both successfully these add an user to the userlist array,

users.val(userlist);
// But this fails to update the user field,
}

How should this be done?
