Custom Email Domain - Move Address between Users

I want to move an address for my custom domain from one user to another - both are members of my iCloud family. I have deleted the address from user A, but I get the following error message when I try to add it to user B.


This email address is not available. Please try again with a different address.


Note - No messages have been sent by or received to the address in question.


Is this supported?
