Creating opportunity with assgned contacts and companies

[censo]

Hi,

my client is using act.com Version 21.0.295.0, Update 5. I've been asked to create Opportunities via API. I'd like to have Opportunity assigned to existing contact and company. Unfortunately all opportunities I created are not linked to neither contact nor company. Below I'm pasting some request I'm sending:

{
  "name": "Test Store",
  "companies": [
    {
      "id": "be1047dd-6f0a-4fa0-b42f-c5cdddf5caa7"
    }
  ],
  "contacts": [
    {
      "id": "b36c3090-f74a-41fc-8241-7bf137c082a9"
    }
  ],
  "estimatedCloseDate": "2019-05-29T10:54:44.160Z",
  "isPrivate": true,
  "openDate": "2019-04-29T10:54:44.160Z",
  "source": "Shopify App",
  "status": "Open",
  "relatedEntitiesResolver": true
}

Can you help with that? I've no idea what I may be doing wrong. 

Thanks in advance!

I was able to post a new opportunity with your json request (replace guids with my contact and company) it worked fine. I am assuming you are getting back a 201 Created status code with a response body, correct? I did notice a few things, but they seems to be linked.  Could you run your test again, but this time post the response body.

Here is the test I ran:  Everything looks correct, except for the stuff highlighted in red, I will look at these as well.  But I can't duplicate what you are seeing,  I have contacts and companies assigned.  Also in Act! I can see that these are associated on the opporutnities tabs for contacts and companies.  If you send more information to help me duplicate this issue, that would be helpful.
