Creating an event via api does not set owner

Hi,

The Groovy script I am using to sync appointments in Outlook with LiquidPlanner no longer works. It seems that the "owner" is no longer set. This is how I do it in Groovy:

String requestPath = 'workspaces/' + LP_WORKSPACE_ID + '/events/';
liquidPlanner.request( Method.POST, ContentType.JSON ) &#123; req ->
uri.path = requestPath;

def startTime = LP_DATE_FORMATTER.print( startDateTime )
def endTime = LP_DATE_FORMATTER.print( endDateTime )
logger.debug "$startTime - $endTime : $&#123;subject&#125;"
body = [event: [
name: subject,
owner_id: userVacationPackage.ownerId,
parent_id: userVacationPackage.id,
external_reference: exchangeAppointmentId,
start_date: startTime,
finish_date: endTime]]

response.success = { resp, json ->
logger.debug "Succesfully created appointment in LP"
}

response.failure = &#123; resp ->
throw new RuntimeException( "Unable to create appointment in LP: $&#123;resp.status&#125; - $&#123;requestPath&#125;" )
}
}

Notice how I set the "owner_id" in the request body. I always get a success response, but the event is always set as "unassigned". Any idea why this might be?

regards,

Wim
PS: I tried to use the "Postman" Chrome extension to try to reproduce it, but I don't know what options I need to set to make it work correctly. I always get this result:

{
"type": "Error",
"error": "InternalServerError",
"message": "Internal error; try again and perhaps it will work (no promises)."
}
