How to stop Repeater from writing to pattern editor?

so i’m writing scripts for setting Repeater values.
but when i run a simple thing like - while editmode is on

renoise.song().selected_track.devices[2].parameters[8].value=1

this comes out!

i don’t want it to print to pattern editor.
what’s up with this? do i need to disable re-enable editmode before&after inputting the parameter change? what am i missing here?

edit: or is the solution to set settings, extract active_preset_data, store it, and bang it in when adding the device?

edit2: reason i’m asking is because analog filter doesn’t write to pattern editor!
