Can't see some of my Groups on Forms

OK .. so I love forms ... and I use it for a lot of things. But I'm having trouble figuring out the criteria for why a group shows up in my Group Forms listing or not.

 

I thought it was a group ownership issue as opposed to group members... but there are many groups that I own that aren't showing up in my list.

 

Any ideas out there in Forms land??

    Hi CYappert 

     

    From my experiences, once the group has ownership of the Form, it appears in the Group forms tab. From there I can pop down the Recent group forms list and view all my groups. I would then select a group and the form/s within it.

     

     

    Don't use the search bar to the right of the page as it will not show group form results unless you have selected a specific group to search within.

     

    Hope that helps?

     

    Cheers

      Well, the issue is that it's not possible to give ownership to a group if the group does not show up in any list or view. ... And that is my actual problem .. not all groups/teams are showing up

        So an update on this ... MIcrosoft says it's because indexing on grps is not finding the other grps that I'm a member of .. that essentially the grps are non-searchable and so are not showing up. 

         

        Unfortunately, when they ran an index .. it didn't work. So still at square one.

    This is also something I am trying to figure out. There doesn't seem to be any reason why some Groups appear as either a destination to move an existing form to or to appear in the Groups tab.

     

    I have created new test Groups in different ways (Private vs Public, via the Admin portal and through Teams) and still can't get them to show up. However, a Group i created a month ago via the same methods appears.

     

    Any help from the community would also be appreciated!
