Hello,

  Thank you for providing us the details.
  Based on our logs(per the X-Request-Id) and the provided JSON input, it looks like the actor reference is pointing to a patient that does not exist. Resulting in the 422 Unprocessable entity error.

 
  Non-existent patients cannot be used as actors.

  The existence of a patient can be verified by doing a read on the Patient ID.
