Hi, Anyone know how to create a job with REST API and make the job a child of a parent job?

I tried sending in this with the field parent: { "id": "12345" } but get this error `netsuite Invalid Field Value 12345 for the following field: parent`

What reasons could there be for this error?

`POST URL: <https://7479116-sb1.suitetalk.api.netsuite.com/services/rest/record/v1/job>`
`Data:` 
`{`
    `"csegcostcode": { "id": "774" },`
    `"companyName": "250721 pf test Design (00)",`
    `"estimatedgrossprofit": 0.0,`
    `"fxRate": 0.0,`
    `"parent": { "id": "250398" },`
    `"percentTimeComplete": 0.0,`
    `"subsidiary": { "id": "1" }`
`}`

`Thanks`

Nevermind, it appears the error in this case was because there was no customer on the parent job.

When I set a customer on the parent job, this child call worked.

Really wish there was a better way than trial and error...
