I created a form and wanted to transfer ownership of the form to a group that I am Owner of. The group never appeared in the Move listing. I checked both Teams and the O365 group and confirmed that I am an Owner of both.
In an earlier post, another community member noted that one had to be a member of the Team/group to be able to transfer ownership. Teams says that I cannot be a member because I am already an owner.
I then went into O365 Admin and in that case can be both an Owner and a Member of the group. When I made myself a member as well as an owner, I was able to transfer ownership.
I did this because it was the only way that I could find that all Team members could see the same results spreadsheet. However, I have found that once ownership of a form is transferred my abilities to make changes even though I am the creator become limited. I know that ownership transfer is a one way street, although I think that this is wrong.
So two requests. One, clean up the process so creators can transfer ownership of a form to a group without having to be a group member. That's a security problem since we tend to do the creation work for departments and want to hand off once done without having membership to a zillion groups. Second, fix the Forms product so as an Admin of the system I can move form ownership around as needed without having to be a group/team owner or member and make form ownership change simple.
I like to use Forms because it is quick and when I outgrow its limitations and there are many because Power Automate breaks regularly once a form owner is changed, I have to go to a third party product for simple web forms. That costs unnecessary money and is another vendor to manage. While this is not the Power Automate community, having to parse a long URL to do automation with group owned forms is really pretty ridiculous. As an Admin of the entire company, I should not have to do this ridiculous work around.
