REST POST that chooses a user from user reference field isn't populating

[ctsmith]

I have a POST function that works on every field I've tried except for choosing a user from user reference field.

The body is:

{"name":"Chris Test","memory":"32","managed_by":"xxx4fxc30a0a3c53217xxxxeb21742c5"}

It will create a new record and populate the new fields in the body except for managed_by.   I tried sys_id based on the REST API Explorer, and it worked with my admin account internally, worked with admin account externally, but not with the system user I created.   I added full admin rights to the system user to see, and that still didn't work.

Any ideas of why this isn't working?

Thanks!

So...   I ended up having to put an ACL on a seemingly unrelated field.   And, I had to clear out the session cookies in Postman, then the managed_by started returning.     Very odd it was just an issue on this one field, but solved.
