Glenn -
Did you add the new owner BEFORE you tried to remove the old one?

We have subgroups for subcommittees of our committee. Naturally, I am not on every subcommittee and don't want/need/should have emails from every subcommittee. So, as owner of the main group when I created each subcommittee, I made the subcommittee chair the owner of the subgroup and for the subcommittees I am not on, removed myself.
Now, the chairs of one of the subcommittees has changed. I can access the subgroup members list, but I cannot change the owner. The actions list I see is for the new chair after adding them to the subgroup is:
and if I try to remove the current one, I get "The member cannot be removed because they are the sole owner of the group." which is logical enough.
Adding myself back to the subgroup does not permit me to escalate myself back to owner.
I don't see anything the owners manual or wiki that addresses this.
Suggestions welcome.
Best,
Glenn
P.S. The current subgroup owner is very non-technical, which is why they are asking me to do this for them. Otherwise, I would just tell them the steps instead of trying to do it for them.
