Cannot move CloudInit Drive to other storage via webGUI

Why I cannot move the CloudInit Drive of my VMs to another storage via webGUI? See attached screenshot.
Using the cli command "qm move_disk" is works.

We are running on PVE 6.2-6.

Remove and add it again. That is the only way and moving data does not make much sense as all data is generated again on VM start.

It does make sense. The cloudinit drive image needs to be stored somewhere.
We added a new storage and want to migrate all disks to it including cloudinit drive images.

I understand your point, just deleting it and recreating it on the new storage.
But this looks like inconsistent behavior/workflow to me.
1. It's a disk like any other.
2. I can use move_disk via cli and it works.

Another point:
3. Recreating/Regeneration of the Cloudinit drive results e.g. in changed SSH keys.
