Parent page not shown in admin interface for API created pages

[theresazobel]

I create nested pages (parent/child structure) with the help of the API. Inside the DB I can see all my created pages with the correct parentID. However, this is not shown in the Parent Attributes box in the Wordpress UI (admin interface / pages).

Screenshots provided: In the first one you can see that it's a child post (---). The second screenshot shows the parent attributes box: "no parent". Third screenshot show the DB with the same element and the correct parentID.

I create these pages likes this:

function createPage(title, content, parent) {
    console.log(parent);
    var wp = new WPAPI({
        endpoint: 'http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-json',
        username: 'admin',
        password: 'pass'
    });
    return wp.pages().create({
        title: title,
        content: content,
        parent: parent,
        status: 'publish'
    })
        .catch(error => {
            console.error('Error: ' + error.message);
        })
        .then(function (response) {
        return response.id;
    })
}

    })
}

I suggest you mention that manually created pages do show up and that their GUID differs :-)

Okay this just happened:

I manually insert a page via the DB and marked the parent to be e.g. page 1 (API created). Now all the other pages (API created) show the correct parent and all the other pages in the dropdown. 😲

(I truncate the table, inserted the pages again with the API. Same bug. Added a page manually via the DB: worked again)
