Replace instance of assembly via API

HI,

I want to replace an assembly by another via the API.
I am using the following endpoint: /api/elements/d/:did/w/:wid/e/:eid/updatereferences

My Url looks like https://techsoft.onshape.com/api/elements/d/8892178092f880cf9ddecead/w/f0ee80e9697d6f6ccdc61a13/e/0a31fca43985c592ec352c69/updatereferences
And the request body: 


But every try leads to this error:

This message doesn't say anything relevant and I don't know what I am doing wrong.
Am I missing something?

    Looks like you are using wrong a docmentId in "fromReference". Please make sure that input is right. I agree that API should be better in reporting what is wrong.

    Nah I found out, that workspaceId is throwing this error. When I try it out with versionId, the request works perfectly. But the Glassworks Explorer says you can take workspaceId, so there is something wrong in the API. https://cad.onshape.com/glassworks/explorer/#/
    And yes the reporting in this case is very bad.
