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

  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 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!!!!

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