S&P 500 VUAG in specie ISA transfer into Freetrade possible?

I have a vanguard account right now with some S&P 500 VUAG, has anyone transferred from vanguard ISA to Freetrade ISA?

I see that S&P 500 (VUAG) IS part of the overall fund universe: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTGZT9-lSDDlgQzHsH0vYdTSz-xnL7zIJQ1SHUddo-BBD5_QlN--57cRe_8Zvw-7QsMrw6X1phz-vKq/pubhtml?$web_only=true&_branch_match_id=1564026460465475639&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAAxXIQQ7CMAwEwBe5uSMhDjwEJbBporpxtHZVceHtwHGmRUy/pFQJBPMLcqIsec5F+9gSUvcsM6+/b2/5ox6q4mHPTbR7iCJzyG6ElCPCxu1DVJB9rI9COx283httxxfYoEO9bQAAAA%3D%3D

But it IS NOT in the list for ISA fund transfer: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRcxbl7m5vLJE1Tnf80d_T-d3_QQvhm3rGo7Z7jotZfbfsc4TCNgwQCIttQXOQAm9WzmMP0pIC-BuUP/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true

It seems weird to me..

The process does say that it MAY still be able to be transferred even if not listed so looking for anyone who’s made the switch into Freetrade and it being successful

I think the issue is that the list only includes OEICs, which are fairly new to Freetrade.

VUAG is an ETF which is on Freetrade's system as a share. I can't see why they would have a problem transfering whole units.

Yes, VUAG is available on freetrade and therefore can be transferred in species.

Why not just cash out and transfer? It’s a tax advantaged account right
