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 ow...

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

    Many thanks Brian, been looking for this for a while. Still feels like a bit of a workaround, but works a treat.

    Brian_Stauber This worked for me!

     

    I went into the Teams Admin Center and noticed I was not in the Team, even though I created the team and was listed as an owner in Teams.  I added my user account with my admin account and the team showed up in the list!

     

    Thanks Brian! +1

      Chris Smith Thank you! This has been bugging me for months!!! So strange that you can be an owner but if not a member in the admin centre doesn't show up in Forms!

        I found the site has to be a Teams site not a Communication site.

      Chris Smith Brian_Stauber Adding myself as a group member (and not just an owner) worked for me! I had to add through Office365 Admin portal and not in the Teams Dashboard. THANK YOU!!!!

      OK so a bit of an update ...

       

      We've been working on this with Microsoft for a few months now .. and even they don't know what the issue is. We have tried all kinds of approaches. 

      Our challenge is that the groups that are not showing up are dynamically generated based on PowerShell scripts on AD so it's not just a matter of adding a person to a TEam if they aren't part of the department that is being automatically maintained.

       

      Microsoft has now recognized that this is a bug for auto-generated teams/groups and has suggested that if we moved away from automated it would just work .. not going to happen.

       

      So We wait till MS fixes it. Or provides us better Teams tools to maintain team membership programmatically.

        How can I see all teams in groups forms?
