set_dns2: problem adding subdomain and keeping main tld domain C-record

I know I have to add all the original main and subdomains to the parameters for "set_dns2" when I add a new subdomain - otherwise I am only setting the subdomain and lose the settings for all other domains. Unfortunately when I read teh current dns settings using "get_dns" is not in the same format as that needed by "set_dns2 - so while I am able to add all the current subdomains, I am losing the main domain.

An example fo the command I am using is:

https://api.dynadot.com/api3.json?key=xxxx&command=set_dns2&sub_record_type2=cname&main_record_type=cname&subdomain0=people&sub_record2=123.cname.eu.loclx.io&sub_record_type1=cname&main_record=987.cname.eu.loclx.io&sub_record_type0=cname&sub_record0=123.cname.eu.loclx.io&subdomain2=place&subdomain1=project&sub_record1=123.cname.eu.loclx.io&domain=astralship.wiki

The main_record does not get set - what is the right syntax?

Fixed the issue: the "main record" params such as "main_record_type" should be "main_record_type0" - that is followed by some integer.
