Two doubts about Qualtrics API

1) Why when I create a Mailing List, ID is similar to "CG_eCZYmWC54nHKS9M" (i.e. "CG_...") and when I do it manually, Qualtrics create something similar to "ML_eQyqJ6wZEjCtaqa" (i.e. "ML_..."?
2) Why exists an error when I use List Mailing List service and I create Distributions with "CG_eCZYmWC54nHKS9M", but it works when I use "ML_eQyqJ6wZEjCtaqa"?

1) Found this in the Qualtrics Id documentation: ML_ stands for "Mailing List" of course much like S_ is their Survey ID prefix and R_ their Response ID prefix. CG_ is also Mailing List, but through their new TA / XM Directory.

2) This supports my last sentence all the more. Sounds like the GUI changed, but is still being driven largely by the old service.
