Inquiry on Updating Tracker Item Field Values

Hello,
I would like to add a requirement item to the Verifies field, as shown in the attached example. To perform this “Add” action via the API, I used the items/{item_id} PUT API with the following body:
{ "subjects": [ { "id": {req_item_id}, "name": "Supports VOR(32 or 8kbit)", "type": "TrackerItemReference" } ] }
However, when I sent the /v3/items/{item_id} PUT request, I received an error: "State transition from New to -- is not defined for [HARDTC-{item_id}]".
Could you let me know if there is something I am doing incorrectly, or if I should be using a different API for this operation?
Thank you for your assistance.
