How to change parent of sub-task using REST API

Varrun SS

Assume TEST-101 is a sub-task under TEST-100. I want to change the parent of sub-task to TEST-102. But the REST API is not updating the parent

 

PUT: https://intelligenceapp.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/TEST-101

{
  "fields": {
     "parent": {
          "key": "TEST-102"
       }
    }
}

 

Please let me know if this is possible via REST API ?

 

Thanks,

Varun
