Steps To Reproduce

Hi, I tried to create an org-collection via the bitwarden cli tool. The commands I used are:

bw() { command bw --session 8+/F+NAkO456IUiyuui8IF2L6pVLV2dWF0xkeqFqeetghlMh4nMiz4mqzgJS2ljkGdIayVfjS0WEKksRaQeDBw== "${@}"; }

ORGID='13ca4a6c-5cf7-466a-b735-a2bcb11222e3'; bw get template org-collection |jq --arg orgid "${ORGID}" '.name= "Org Name" |.groups = [] | .organizationId=$orgid' |bw encode |bw create org-collection --organizationid "${ORGID}" --pretty

Is this the expected behaviour, because this feature is not implemented yet, or is there something wrong with my setup?
If this is the expected behaviour, do you know alternatives on how I can create collections automatically?
I would really appreciate your help! Thank you in advance!

Expected Result

The collection gets created.

Actual Result

I receive following error message:

{"response":{"error":{"code":422,"reason":"Unprocessable Entity","description":"The request was well-formed but was unable to be followed due to semantic errors."}},"captchaRequired":false,"statusCode":422}

Logs

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

Other Items like folders can be created.
