Zoho CRM Python SDK 2.1 won't update record owner

When I try to change the owner on a Zoho record for my website APKBEB, I get a success message but the Lead Owner field doesn't change. The record is in the "Potentials" module (I think it's a custom module)

lead: Record = self.get_lead(int(lead_id))

user: ZCRMUser = self.get_user_by_email(owner_email)

# Perform the update

lead.add_key_value("Owner", user)

request = BodyWrapper()

request.set_data([new_record])

request.set_trigger(["approval", "workflow", "blueprint"])

response = self.record_operators.update_record(zoho_id, "Potentials", request)

The update is performed and reports no errors but it doesn't change the "Owner" field:

INFO Status: success

INFO Code: SUCCESS

INFO Message: record updated

If I inspect the lead itself the field exists:

Owner = <zcrmsdk.src.com.zoho.crm.api.users.user.User object at 0x1153ae7d0>

Also the user object is a valid User object. The API token I'm using seems to have all permissions granted. It seems like Zoho just quietly drops the field. I don't know if this is a permissions thing, an API limitation or something else.

UPDATE: I've noticed the code I'm working on has pinned zohocrmsdk2_1 = "^1.0.0" so might be an old issue. Will retest with latest 3.0.0 and see if it helps. UPDATE 2: Didn't help. Same issue with versions 1.1.0 and 3.0.0 of zohocrmsdk2-1
