            Description

            An API call to create an employment relationship between an Individual and an Organization does not set the 'employer_id' and 'organization_name' columns in the contact table for the employee record.

            Reproduced on the demo site using the API explorer. Create an employment relationship, then go on the contact summary for the Individual, the 'Employer' field is empty, but the relationship tab shows that the employment relationship does exist. Tested with start_date and end_date for the relationship not set in the API call.

            This seems to be a regression from the 4.2 LTS.

                I'm going to have to patch-welcome you on this one - it's obviously not tested...

                I checked the code and setting current_employer is still being handled at the form level and not the BAO, so it's not available to the api.
                There are a couple fixmes in the code about this. Patches still welcome
