So maybe I am approaching this wrong, in theory I would like the activity feed to show that someone added this item. There is a relationship to a parent item but if I pass that as the owner it puts that ID into the user_id item in the activities table when it isn't the user_id but the id of the parent object.
Maybe I need to come up with another approach and figure out a way around this.
