Hello,  
After much testing, there seems to be an issue with the Company Contact API where if you add one contact, it always seems to change the “type” to “BILLING” even though we are specifying “JOB” ie. Job Contact. How do we stop this from happening? If I then add another company contact, it appears to obey the fact that it is a Job Contact. I actually can’t find any documentation on what the various “type” are, but looking at our existing data, it seems that the API wants “JOB” or “BILLING”.  
Many thanks,  
Pete
