customfield_27901 == "Parent Link", but the api will not let me filter on customfield_27901, only "Parent Link"

You can see 5 variations of a request and the results of each underneath the request.
My goal is to filter where Parent Link contains "CH' or at least where it's not null. Although I've implemented those conditions, the responses aren't right, as shown in 2), 3), 5) - Each still return null values.
The only filter which actually does something is 4), which filters for and returns only null values.
How can I get this filter working?
