Need a value for Id field when POSTing a new conversation

I am trying to POST a new conversation to my resource object and I am getting a 500 server error code.

I am posting the following:

curl 'http://localhost:8000/resources/1/conversations/' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0' -H 'Accept: */*' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5' --compressed -H 'Referer: http://localhost:3000/mentor-dashboard/mentor-resource-detail/@http~@~_~_localhost~@8000~_resources~_1~_' -H 'Content-Type: application/ld+json' -H 'Origin: http://localhost:3000' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'Cookie: csrftoken=1PhZAHc4mH1kv6tXhLUlO7g8B000ZLg2r8Ezda3AIUDrWvT8TM0eLtJS4gWPBodc; sessionid=n1a8yiv2svsgf1vq4mqym7fsahtnen7s' -H 'Pragma: no-cache' -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' --data '[{"@id":"./","http://happy-dev.fr/owl/#title":"Tata"}]'

Weird thing, it did work some time ago as I do have existing conversations on the same resource. When I do reply to an existing conversation the CURL request looks like the following and it works:

curl 'http://localhost:8000/conversations/3/message_set/' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0' -H 'Accept: */*' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5' --compressed -H 'Referer: http://localhost:3000/mentor-dashboard/mentor-resource-detail/@http~@~_~_localhost~@8000~_resources~_1~_' -H 'Content-Type: application/ld+json' -H 'Origin: http://localhost:3000' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'Cookie: csrftoken=1PhZAHc4mH1kv6tXhLUlO7g8B000ZLg2r8Ezda3AIUDrWvT8TM0eLtJS4gWPBodc; sessionid=n1a8yiv2svsgf1vq4mqym7fsahtnen7s' -H 'Pragma: no-cache' -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' --data '[{"@id":"./","http://happy-dev.fr/owl/#text":"Toto"}]'

The main differences between the two calls are the POST target URLs:

  1. http://localhost:8000/resources/1/conversations/
  2. http://localhost:8000/conversations/3/message_set/

Because in both cases, the submitted object does not contain any ID:

  1. [{"@id":"./","http://happy-dev.fr/owl/#title":"Tata"}]
  2. [{"@id":"./","http://happy-dev.fr/owl/#text":"Toto"}]

In my models.py, the conversations are defined as follows:

conversations = models.ManyToManyField(Conversation, blank=True, related_name='resources')

Complete error message:
