That's a weird one. Can you give me a full PSVersiontable to investigate?

After the recent update to get the PSGallery version to match the GitHub version I am running into this issue because the {ParentID} is not being properly passed so it fails with a null value.

The issue I had open for not being able to create ticketnoteschild is still occurring and now I am having it happen with creating tickets themselves, which previously worked fine until the update.

The code for swapping the {ParentID} is stopping before it swaps it with the actual ID value.

I am observing the same behaviour when I want to query Child items of other objects. Even the one from the readme example. Note that I am on Windows 11.
