Missing parent/creator process id for event 4688 with im_wseventing

For event 4688 I can only extract the parent process id out of the message body but there is no field in JSON containing only the parent process id. In im_msvistalog this field is properly added to JSON. Example in im_wseventing:

Please add the missing field.
