Maps previously published under my former Creator Code automatically goes to a new Island Code when updated.

This issue prevents me from updating my older maps to meet the requirement of filling the IARC form for them. I risk losing their currently published versions if it continues to be the case by next week.

Summary:
I updated my code from oanleninja-fr to Oan_SMM earlier this year. The maps previously published under the former code (eg: 8766-8863-1171) are still labelled in game under my old creator code.
When trying to push a new update of these maps through the Creator Portal, it automatically publishes the update as a new map, under a new code (8364-4001-8409, for the map of the previous example), making it impossible to update the map on the old Island Code, which is extremely problematic when you have a solid player base on it.

Steps to Reproduce:
Publish an update through the Creator Portal to a map that was previously published under the old Creator Code.

Expected result: The update should be pushed on the original Island Code, thus allowing the creator to fill the IARC form for it.

Observed result: The update is pushed on a new island code, leaving the old one unchanged. Future updates are also published on the new island code.

Platform: PC

Hi @OAN_SMM, that is a known issue. Your “old” creator code doesn’t exist any more - there are not two creator codes, in our system it’s the same account. You should publish all of your old maps again to get them to show as under the new creator.

We’re working on this issue, thank you for the report!

Do you mean that I have to publish them, by creating a private version from Fortnite Creative? Because if I do so in UEFN it will create a new island code and not update the original one (resulting in me losing my player base on the old account, this map is the one that provide me enough money to live, you know!)
