Unable to modify dataset attribute if it is a nested array

Hello. I’m a new user of h5py and I have an issue with nested array as attribute.
I’m need to modify an attribute in a file generated by an external source but I’m not able to get the type of the attribute right.

When I open the file with HDFView the original type of the attribute is Array [3] of 64-bit floating point with an array size of 1 and value [1,2,3].

But when I do something like group.attrs[‘foo’] = group.attrs[‘foo’], the type is changed to 64-bit floating point with array size 1x3 and value [1,2,3]

My issue is very similar to This stackoverflow topic

Is there a solution to this issue ?
