Detailed explanation of the problem:

Hi Guys!
I want to create a sub group to a group using the Java SDK. I tried the following

subscriptionsService.runForTenant(subscriptionsService.getTenant(), () -> {
				ManagedObjectRepresentation response = inventoryApi.create(asset);
				LOG.info("Group created with id:" + response.getId().getValue());
				

				// make this group as child of unsorted
				GId gid = GId.asGId(unsortedGroupMoId.get(subscriptionsService.getTenant()));
				ManagedObject managedObjectApi = inventoryApi.getManagedObjectApi(gid);
				managedObjectApi.addChildAsset(ManagedObjects.asManagedObject(response.getId()));
			});

I get the error that the id is not updatable. Does anyone know how can I assign the newly created group as the child of the group whose Gid i extract in the code above.

Error messages / full error message screenshot / log file:

execution of task failed within tenant : XXXXX - Http status code: 422
{error=“undefined/validationError”,message=“Following fields are not updateable: id”,info=“https://www.cumulocity.com/guides/reference/rest-implementation//#a-name-error-reporting-a-error-reporting",details="null”}
tenant: XXXXX user: service_c2c-integration

Question related to a free trial, or to a production (customer) instance?

You can skip the first step and just execute the second call with the GID of the source group where you want to attach the to-be-created sub-group to.
Haven’t tested it but this is how I understand it.

ManagedObject managedObjectApi = inventoryApi.getManagedObjectApi(gid); //GID of the source group 
managedObjectApi.addChildAsset(<<ManagedObjectReprensentationToBeCreated>>);

This worked! There was another function called addChildAssets

				// make this group as child of unsorted
				GId gid = GId.asGId(unsortedGroupMoId.get(subscriptionsService.getTenant()));

				ManagedObject managedObjectApi = inventoryApi.getManagedObjectApi(gid);
				managedObjectApi.addChildAssets(response.getId());
