Transfer ownership of workspace home/root page

[Brad Allan]

When I create a new workspace, the root page of the workspace is in my ownership. How do I transfer the page ownership to the owner of the workspace?

I have self discovered the long winded workaround (IMO) of creating a new page in the workspace and setting that as the home page.

Is there any way to not do the workaround?

And if not, please point me at the bug so I can upvote.

thanks

Hello @Brad Allan 

To transfer the ownership, by the "Owned by [First Name] [Last Name] created with a template" click on three dots and choose "Change owner". From there you enter the user that you want to be the new page owner.

thanks for replying. 

Click on 'Test Space' to see the default home page of your workspace.

Are you able to change ownership of the page?

No problem @Brad Allan .

Pardon of my overview of this issue. There is an option to change the page owner, but sadly this is not possible for changing the space owner.

This page is a great reference: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/is-it-possible-to-change-the-owner-of-a-space/qaq-p/2465633

thanks.

Really seems pretty illogical. Clearly the home page is a content page because I can workaround the issue  as stated above. Anyway, upvoted wanting it 'fixed' (no one could possibly argue this is not a defect).

I would also like a fix for this. It's not even possible to work around using the page properties macro.

Where can I vote on the issue?

As best as I can tell, this is still not resolved. I've had a team member leave and they created a space that would be best to be owned by someone else. I've updated the space owner, but the root level page still says it's owned by the member that left.
