Create Distribution for Transaction Batch

Question

I am attempting to create a Distribution for a Transaction Batch following the guide at https://api.qualtrics.com/api-reference/docs/Guides/XM%20Directory/using-transactions-in-iq-directory.md.I can follow the first two steps successfully:Create Contact TransactionAdd the Contact Transaction to a Transaction BatchI then attempt to create a distribution using the Transaction Batch Id, sending a message like the following:{	"surveyId": "SV_eVfCx8VtSAyX2Sh",	"linkType": "Individual",	"description": "TEST",	"action": "CreateDistribution",	"expirationDate": "2020-10-28 00:00:00",	"transactionBatchId": "BT_tXKBNAd2A0K4xWx"}to the Url https://fra1.qualtrics.com/API/v3/distributionsThis results in the error:{	"meta": {		"httpStatus": "400 - Bad Request",		"error": {			"errorMessage": "Unexpected json key provided: transactionBatchId",			"errorCode": "RP_9"		},		"requestId": "a7f368bd-f97a-4917-aaa6-5ed1cd0c92a9"	}}According to the reference documentation at https://api.qualtrics.com/api-reference/reference/distributions.json/paths/~1distributions/post this  payload matches the 3rd of the 3 allowed formats for the POST message to create a distribution. I need to create a distribution and generate links without sending the links out by email which is why I am using this format. If I cannot get this working I will need to add each contact to its own mailing list so that I can use the 2nd format for the POST message body, which is very far from ideal.Why is this not working?

Have discovered that if I use "action": "CreateTransactionBatchDistribution" this works!
