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

Damien

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.

      I figured out my issue. Turns out I was only an owner in some of my Groups and not a member. Adding myself as a member allowed me to see these in Forms and my issue was resolved. CYappert
