Projects API GET associated tasks

I have trouble with the request to the following endpoint:
https://www.zoho.com/projects/help/rest-api/bugs-api.html#alink9

For a correct portalID, projectID and bugID (id_string) I get the following response from the server:
This looks nothing like the expected response from the documentation. Also the associated_task array is empty.


...

My setup:
I use zoho flow to make the api calls.
I have a ZOHO Projects connection I have setup and use in various different flows. I use both, /restapi and /api/v3.



There is an Issue/Bug in a project that is associated to a task. as you can see in the picture below.
In the request I tried both, the id and the id_string property from the Bug object. The response with the id was "Resource not found" while with the id_string it gave me the output above.

What am I doing wrong? Can you help me?

• What stops me from packaging and shipping an order when the inventory is negative?

  It seems if the inventory value is negative, that Zoho Inventory should not allow me to create a Package and Ship it.   But, there seems to be nothing to stop me from doing that other than when I go to physically package the item and realize that there is no stock. There also seems to be nothing on the screen that even indicates to me that I should not package and ship.  To me this is the fundamental point of an inventory system.  Am I doing something wrong?
