Transfer form Ownership to another personal user
Hi there,
since I'm going to be unavailable for a couple of weeks I would like to transfer ownership of an internal form to another user who's taking over for me. I can only find the solution to transfer it to another group which is not suitable for my issue.
How may I transfer ownership to another personal user?

When will Microsoft start taking "Forms" seriously? Can't transfer a form from one person to another, no centralized "Forms Admin" center for the people who maintain them...it's getting old!
Navigate to the Microsoft Forms portal and open the form.
Click on “Share” and then select "Share to collaborate."
Enter the person’s email address and ensure you give them edit access.While Microsoft Forms does not support direct "ownership" transfers like Google, you can share the form with sufficient permissions, allowing them to manage it.
Note: They will have access to edit, but ownership remains with the original account holder.
This needs to change fast. Why can't we treat the form as any other document?! How can I transmit this need to the Microsoft tech team? Microsoft Forms
You could just give the other user the Collaborate link which would allow them to change the form and view the responses.
Thank you Rob for your comment. It's not the issue actually. We need to receive notifications for each submit. Actually, the sheet was created in a Teams group, which doesn't allow the notifications!
JGrandmontagne the only option with the same form is to save it to a group. To give it to another personal user you would neeed to give them the "Share as a template" link and the other person would then create a duplicate of the form, but of course then it becomes a separate form so you'd need to merge the responses later in a spreadsheet.
