Hi, MartinCot

Forms is associated to the user and not a specific Team. The Forms author can only specify who can answer the survey by going into ... (top right) and Settings.

When added as a Tab in Teams, you can only have a fillable Form.

..and that's the problem I outlined.

The answer sought is why should it be, not why does it happen?

You can create a new Form within Teams that is not associated with the user, why should it be that you cannot transfer "ownership" to a Team by moving a Form?

Got it. Here are the steps so that you can transfer ownership of a personal Form into a specific Teams workspace that members can edit.

Make sure to select Collaborate when adding the existing Form as a tab in Teams. You will have to run a test first if responses are already made before moving things over.

    Yes, I was pleasantly surprised to have found this solution. I recently discovered how to add the Form inside of Teams, but I was missing the 'collaborate' steps. You provided exactly the solution needed. Thank you.
