stibbett Associate new PersonAccount with existing contact
I have a few thousand contacts and we're switching to Person Accounts since we're essentially a B2C company.
I'm writing a migration script using the API. I have a particular Contact, and I want to create a new PersonAccount associated with that contact.
I've tried just creating the account with the PersonAccountId value set to the contact's Id, but that gives me an error.
What's the proper way to do this?
Thanks

conn.sobject("Account").create({
FirstName: contact.FirstName,
LastName: contact.LastName,
PersonAccountId: contact.Id
});
That gets me
INVALID_FIELD_FOR_INSERT_UPDATE: Unable to create/update fields: PersonContactIdI can see the PersonContactId field in the Account when I query it, but I guess it's read only.
What's the proper way to do this?
