Glad you solved but below can be approach to debug

 

  • Ensure the user or group you want to assign as owner has access and edit permissions for the space.
  • As a space admin or site admin, go to Space Settings > Space Permissions and add the user/group if missing.
  • Then go to Space Settings > Overview or Space Details, use the Owner dropdown to select the user/group again.
  • If still no matches found, contacting Atlassian support might be necessary to resolve indexing or permission sync issues.

Thanks
