WHMCS doesn't currently support additional domain fields for transfers. This means that transfers for .es domains (and probably many more) can't be automated, because the customer is never asked to fill the necessary fields. WHMCS should implement required domain fields in both domain registrations and transfers.

I'm pleased to advise this has been implemented in version 7.7. Following the introduction of GDPR laws, additional domain data can no longer be transferred between registrars automatically. As such we've added the additional domain fields to the transfer order flow to gather the information from clients and make it available to registrar modules.
