Unable to add photo in shared album

Hi again!
I'm running an updated Immich server.
I've an account named "Family" that own 1 album named "Summer" composed by photos from an external library, that is read-only.

I've shared the album "Summer" with another account "Luke", with the possibility to edit the album.

But when "Luke" tries to edit the album by changing name or adding 1 photo from his own timeline, it doesn't work.
Adding photo simply don't work without feedback, changing name returns the popup error "album_update_error".

Maybe is because the external library is read only? I though that when "Luke" is trying to add 1 photo to the album is just some sort of link in the database...I don't think the ro property of external library should be involved.

Thanks for the support!

P.S.: Those are the logs after I try without success to add a photo in the album:
