<div>The authorization scheme currently just verifies whether you have permission to reassign the specified block. Since it's already been reassigned to another organization, you technically do not have permission to reassign it again. If you want to reassign
it to a new party, you'd have to delete the existing reassignment and perform the reassign call again.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As for the error handling, I see your point and we can investigate how to make the messaging more detailed in a future release. Please file an ACSP regarding the error messaging in the registration system so that we can track this request and prioritize
along with other suggested improvements. The form can be found here:</div>
