Adding Additional Phones via API not Working

Hi. I am trying to pass this into the API: {"phones": {"additionalPhones": ["123", "456", "789"]}}, but instead of adding the numbers, it is actually only deleting previous values and not adding the new ones. How so? I am sticking to the DIN 5008 format (e.g. +49 151 123456789).

for phones, you need to pass a dictionnary for each additional phone with this shape 
{
  "phones": {
    "primaryPhoneNumber": "06 10 20 30 40",
    "primaryPhoneCountryCode": "FR",
    "primaryPhoneCallingCode": "+33",
    "additionalPhones": [
      { "number": "06 10 20 30 41", "countryCode": "GB", "callingCode": "+44"}
    ]
}
{
  "phones": {
    "primaryPhoneNumber": "06 10 20 30 40",
    "primaryPhoneCountryCode": "FR",
    "primaryPhoneCallingCode": "+33",
    "additionalPhones": [
      { "number": "06 10 20 30 41", "countryCode": "GB", "callingCode": "+44"}
    ]
}

Please note that if you send primary number only without any country calling code it will try to infer the informations 
input: { primaryPhoneNumber: '+33123456789' },
expected: {
  primaryPhoneNumber: '123456789',
  primaryPhoneCountryCode: 'FR',
  primaryPhoneCallingCode: '+33',
  additionalPhones: null,
},
input: { primaryPhoneNumber: '+33123456789' },
expected: {
  primaryPhoneNumber: '123456789',
  primaryPhoneCountryCode: 'FR',
  primaryPhoneCallingCode: '+33',
  additionalPhones: null,
},
Same for additional phones and number I would still recommend explicitly passing the country code as some calling code are shared ( +1 is CANADA and US for instance )
