Error: "parent: property is not defined"; when source has disk snapshots

I try to migrate from pve5 to pve6 and get his error:

Hi!

I don't know where that 'parent' property comes from. (Or actually, it comes from the API GET from the VM on the PVE5 apparently.) I suspect it might be the Proxmox Snapshot Parent (did you make snapshots called 'upgrade'?)

In any case, apparently it's not allowed to write that when creating a new VM. Only properties listed in POST /nodes/{node}/qemu on https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/index.html are.

Looks like the quickfix is to add an extra exception for 'parent', like this one:
https://github.com/ossobv/proxmove/blob/master/proxmove#L382-L386

(Note to self: pve version can be seen at https://PVE/api2/json/version )

After I removed the snapshot works correctly.

Off topic: that "Felelőse" (Hungarian?) of yours reminded me of "Kamelåså" (from a hilarious parody), assuming the pronounced stress is on the second to last syllable. But the stress is probably on the 2nd?

Well. I'm not using snapshots; so we can close this one.
