Error: Project transfer blocked – cannot_transfer / has_active_campaign error

Summary

Hello Epic Games Support,

We are having an issue transferring a UEFN project between two teams and it seems to be blocked by the content service.
Here is the full context:

I created a custom map for a friend and transferred the project to a team where:

  • My friend is the Owner
  • I am an Administrator

My friend now wants to transfer this project to another team where:

  • The same friend is the Owner
  • I am also an Administrator

When we tried transferring the project through the Creator Portal, we received this error:

backend returned unexpected error
errors.com.epicgames.content-service.cannot transfer

After that, we tried transferring through this site:

The transfer still failed, and after this attempt the project ownership changed (project ownership, not team ownership).

Now when we try transferring the project, both through the Creator Portal and the content service site — we consistently get this error:

Unable to transfer project because has_active_campaign
errors.com.epicgames.content-service.cannot_transfer

Both the owner and I have full permissions on both teams, but the transfer is blocked in all methods.

Our goal is simply to transfer the project from a Team to another.

It does not make sense for this to be related to a paid or active promotion/campaign, because this map has not been published yet.
