Add Job for different Owner than yourself

Add Job for different Owner than yourself

I am trying to enable users to create Jobs in the name of other users not just Asignees but actual Owners so that they will be able to change the status of the Job. Usually if a user is an Assignee for a Job he can not change the status of that Job unless he is the one creating it (the Owner too). Our manager has to add a lot of Jobs for employees and each of the employees must have the capability to change the status. Is there any way we can accomplish this?

I have tried the following code:

get_record = zoho.people.getRecordByID("P_TimesheetJob",job_id);

updaterecord = Map();

updaterecord.put("JobOwner",new_owner);
updaterecord.put("recordid",job_id);

record = zoho.people.update("P_TimesheetJob",updaterecord);
get_record_new = zoho.people.getRecordByID("P_TimesheetJob",job_id);

info record;
info get_record_new;

With the params:
new_owner = ID (Owner) - a newly created lookup field that lets the user choose the owner
job_id = ID - the actual ID of the targeted job

It gives this messages (info) when I Save and Execute:
{"result":"{\"pkId\":\"3815000000044447\",\"message\":\"Successfully Updated\"}"}

And the second info gives me the right information for owner:
{..............,"JobOwner.ID":"3815000000039005",....."JobOwner":"Careers",...........................}

But this does not actually change the Owner in the system. can you please help me?

Thank you,
Adrian
