Project Accelerator owner only has user lookup
psawyer That hat's it works, unfortunately. As you've noticed the Accelerator only allows you to manually assign a User to the Owner field. The only way to populate it with a group is when you create a group, or assign one in the Task grid. Also if you associate a Teams group with the project there is no way to assign another group to the without deleting the Team. No idea, why Microsoft designed it this way.
unfortunately the short answer is No, the owner field has an impact on permission modifying this field might cause some issues with P4W.
