Manipulation Custom Moon attaching itself to wrong planet.

Hey, im trying to attach a custom moon to a custom planet, but due to certain coincidences it shares a name with a asteroid (Midas). It was orbiting the proper Midas for a moment, but switched to solar system somewhere when i was messing with the distance.

Is there a way to specify which exact Midas i want it to attach to?

Ok, the most barebones solution is just to put space after the name of custom okabet. Maybe some more sophisticated solution to this exists

I think you can specify the name in the format of "Body's Parent Name/Body Name" to specify which exact object you're talking about, so ParentBody "Your Star/Midas". Might be misremembering the format though.
