Run $file->update() multiple times?

I’m having an issue when $file->update() is run multiple times, only the last one seems to work.

I’m writing a plugin that pulls in data from an external API and whenever a file is updated. Below is a stripped down version of the plugin that illustrates the issue. When this plugin/hook runs, the only field added is Field2: value2.

Thanks in advance!

// plugins/myplugin/index.php
<?php

function fileUpdate($file, $field, $value){
  // in the actual plugin, an api call is made here
  // and multiple fields are updated
  try {
    $file->update([ $field => $value ]);
  } catch(Exception $e) {
    throw $e;
  }
}

Kirby::plugin('violet/fieldtest', [
  'hooks' => [
    'file.update:after' => function ($file) {
      fileUpdate($file, 'field1', 'value1');
      fileUpdate($file, 'field2', 'value2');
    }
  ]
]);

Where is the point of doing it like that instead of updating all fields at once?
