Hey Olav,

PATCH doesn't really work for object references. You can try to download
the whole object and PUT it back ;)

So basically GET ->
https://play.dhis2.org/demo/api/dataSets/lyLU2wR22tC.json?fields=:owner

Change user id on the returned object.

Then PUT that payload back to ->
https://play.dhis2.org/demo/api/dataSets/lyLU2wR22tC.json
