I had the same problem here: [Can't create new resources - #31 by nathanqueija](https://community.forestadmin.com/t/cant-create-new-resources/2270/31) and the reason was that I was not returning the ID of the newly created element from the POST call. It used to work without the id before, but stopped at some point. Make sure that you’re returning a unique ID when you serialize the response in the POST call.
