Add shared photo to another shared album error

Hi everyone,

I ran into an issue and I’m not sure if it should be considered a bug or expected behavior:

I created a shared album with my wife for our daughter’s photos.
Then, I created another shared album called "Print Selection".
I’m unable to add a photo owned by her from the first album to the second.

PUT /api/albums/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx/assets
{"ids":["yyyy-yyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyy"]}

Response :
[
    {
        "id": "yyyy-yyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyy",
        "success": false,
        "error": "no_permission"
    }
]

PUT /api/albums/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx/assets
{"ids":["yyyy-yyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyy"]}

Response :
[
    {
        "id": "yyyy-yyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyy",
        "success": false,
        "error": "no_permission"
    }
]

Should I open a feature request for this use case?
Thanks in advance for your help and any feedback!
