Unable to move file with MS Graph API for Onedrive. 200 Response containing old Parent ID

Question

So I'm quite a fan of the Graph API to manage Onedrive from my server. Now I'm trying to use the Graph API to move a file from one directory to another one following the documentation here.

Now in order to do so, I send (PATCH) the following to https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/items/01A2ASUEXPG7EKMCTPDJDY7L5YMVTNWHMO:

{'parentReference': {'id': '01A2ASUEVXTMODEW6HIJC3MSXT5JJ4JLRK'}}

And I receive:

{
   "@odata.context":"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users('b9dc908f-6c6f-463b-a568-9361fabdc995')/drive/items/$entity",

      }
   },
   "lastModifiedBy":{

         "displayName":"Online beheer"
      }
   },
   "parentReference":{
      "driveType":"business",
      "driveId":"b!u2WpOb6qnkS_6foMbPUq90TwxghBinBMhj9DwokQnQefs7rIOSQYS5kmJNV5uSJ7",
      "id":"01A2ASUEWGZQX5GCGE2RFL6J3WBIW2LTUC",
      "path":"/drive/root:/Loonstroken (alleen voor toevoegen)/xxxxxx"
   },
   "file":{
      "mimeType":"image/png",
      "hashes":{
         "quickXorHash":"Yk0eRqT2ThqJHamo0AMLstI0CBI="
      }
   },
   "fileSystemInfo":{
      "createdDateTime":"2022-04-20T08:46:12Z",
      "lastModifiedDateTime":"2022-04-20T08:46:12Z"
   },
   "image":{
      
   },
   "shared":{
      "scope":"users"
   }
}

As you can see:

'parentReference': {'driveType': 'business', 'driveId': 'xxx', 'id': '01A2ASUEWGZQX5GCGE2RFL6J3WBIW2LTUC', 'path': '/drive/root:/Loonstroken (alleen voor toevoegen)/xxxxxx'}

The parentReference ID has not changed to the one provided in the request, but still a 200 is returned. Also the file obviously was not moved.

Any idea what might be the issue here?

Answer 1

Answering my own question.

Seems this was an issue on Microsoft's end. I now get a correct parentReference in the response.
