Set Location in BIM360 Quality issue via API? (Rather than Location Details)

Question

I am able to add Quality Issues through the BIM360 API (or associated APIs, link below) and I am able to set the Location Details. However, my customer uses the Location field, not Location Details. Is there any way to set the Location, specifically?

Here is the page for posting an item: https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/reference/http/field-issues-POST/

I don't see a location attribute or a location permitted attribute, just location details.

We can get the location id under the path attributes.lbs_location

{
    "id": "038edfcf-t56y-4e04-a358-42c95f20c945",
    "type": "quality_issues",
    //...
    "attributes": {
        //...
        "lbs_location": "d14ce3a6-e61b-4ab0-a9be-5acf7b5366df",
        //...
    },
    // ... 
}

To get corresponding location data, we need to call GET v2/containers/{containerId}/trees/{treeId}/nodes

{
  "pagination": {
    "limit": 2,
    "offset": 0,
    "totalResults": 2,
    "nextUrl": null
  },
  "results": [
    {
      "id": "5add4375-f223-4201-88b9-8049e68416aa",
      "parentId": null,
      "type": "Root",
      "name": "Project",
      "description": "Project description",
      "barcode": null,
      "order": 0,
      "documentCount": 0,
      "areaDefined": false
    },
    {
      "id": "d14ce3a6-e61b-4ab0-a9be-5acf7b5366df",
      "parentId": "5add4375-f223-4201-88b9-8049e68416aa",
      "type": "Area",
      "name": "Area 1",
      "description": "An Area 1 node",
      "barcode": "ABC123",
      "order": 0,
      "documentCount": 2,
      "areaDefined": true
    }
  ]
}

To modify the location id for a quality issue, we can call PATCH issues/:id with the below payload:

{
    "data": {
        "type": "quality_issues",
        "id": "038edfcf-t56y-4e04-a358-42c95f20c945",
        "attributes": {
            "lbs_location": "d14ce3a6-e61b-4ab0-a9be-5acf7b5366df"
        }
    }
}
