#8524: "item_id" is not saved when updating an activity that belongs to a group
using the REST endpoint

--------------------------+-----------------------------
 BuddyPress version 8.0.0.

 When using the REST endpoint for updating an activity with component set
 to "groups" the "item_id" (sent in the "primary_item_id" argument) is not
 being correctly set in the $prepared_activity object, and is set to 0 when
 the activity is created via the call to "bp_activity_add" in the
 "update_item" function.

 The cause of this issue resides in the "prepare_item_for_database"
 function, where the "$prepared_activity->item_id" is only set when the
 activity component doesn't belong to a group.

 When it belongs to a group, the "$prepared_activity->group_id" is set to
 the "item_id", and this value isn't used for setting the "item_id" in the
 "bp_activity_add" function.

 activity/classes/class-bp-rest-activity-endpoint.php

 Line 1039-1050.

 This issue impedes the use of the REST endpoint for updating group
 component activities, therefore blocking our ability to add edit
 functionality until it is resolved.
