SQL & PL/SQL

According to this search result (Bing) here is an example of updating the skills array for a given id within a JSON object -

{
 "employees": [
   {
     "id": 1,
     "name": "Alice",
     "department": "HR",
     "skills": ["communication", "recruitment"]
   },
   {
     "id": 2,
     "name": "Bob",
     "department": "IT",
     "skills": ["programming", "database"]
   }
 ]
}
UPDATE employees
SET employee_data = JSON_TRANSFORM(
 employee_data,
 APPEND '$.employees[?(@.id == 2)].skills' = 'cloud computing'
)
WHERE JSON_EXISTS(employee_data, '$.employees[?(@.id == 2)]');

However, this does not work for my situation. Below is my JSON object –

{
   "recall_control": [
       {
           "item_id": "item1",
           "descr": "Description text here...",
           "recall_list": [
               "VAL1",
               "VAL3",
               "VAL5"
           ]
       },
       {
           "item_id": "item2",
           "descr": "Description text here...",
           "recall_list": [
               "VAL1",
               "VAL2"
           ]
       },
       {
           "item_id": "item3",
          "descr": "Description text here...",
           "recall_list": [
               "VAL1",
               "VAL2",
               "VAL3"
           ]
       },
       {
           "item_id": "item4",
           "descr": "Description text here...",
           "recall_list": [
               "VAL1",
               "VAL2",
               "VAL4"
           ]
       }
   ]
}

Very similar to the search results (Bing) but I cannot get it to update a single array. The best I have been able to do so far is update (remove) the VAL3 entry from both objects. Even when I try this where clause - WHERE JSON_EXISTS(recall_actions, '$.recall_control[*]?(@.item_id == "item1")'); It removes it from ITEM1 & ITEM3.

Using Oracle 19C

Can someone tell me what I am missing and/or doing wrong that my update statement won't update just one object's array??

Update statement -

UPDATE recallTbl
SET recall_actions = json_transform( recall_actions, REMOVE '$.recall_control[*].recall_list[*] ?(@=="VAL3")' )
WHERE 
JSON_EXISTS(recall_actions,'$.recall_control[*]?(@.item_id == "item1")')

If I include an ITEM_ID value, then I only want to update the single JSON object.
