Can't assign a lead to a user via API on creation

Hi all,

I'm looking for a little help with the SugarCRM API.

I'm trying to create a lead, using the API, and would like to assign that lead to a specific user.

This is the data I'm currently passing:

first_name: "TEST",
last_name: "TEST",
email: [
    {
        "email_address":"test@test.com",
        "primary_address":"1",
        "invalid_email":"0",
        "opt_out":"0"
    }
],
assigned_user_id: 'some active user id'

This is the endpoint I'm hitting:

/rest/v11_8/Leads

From what I've read elsewhere on the forum, adding the assigned_user_id field should be sufficient to assign the lead to the specified user, however it seems to randomly assign them to another user.

Is there anything else I need to check?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

I tested it on a demo instance and it seems to work. Only thing I needed to is to change the json a bit since it wasn't valid. See code below with the valid json.

{
    "first_name": "TEST",
    "last_name": "TEST",
    "email": [
        {
            "email_address":"test@test.com",
            "primary_address":"1",
            "invalid_email":"0",
            "opt_out":"0"
        }
    ],
    "assigned_user_id": "seed_wayne_id"
}
