Cannot copy and paste docs into a meeting invite anymore?

Hi, I used to be able to attach files pdf's etc into a meeting invite in my manager's diary, ie if he had received an invite to a meeting and I wanted to attach all the relevant docs to that meeting (even if I wasn't the owner/initiator of the meeting invite) I could go copy and paste the relevant docs then when you went to close the meeting invite it would ask if you wanted to save to which I would click yes and the result was the docs would all be saved in the calendar invite for ease of access to docs on the day. Now it doesn't seem possible to do that which is really frustrating. What has changed? Please can you respond soon. Thanks

    If they locked making changes to calendar events for security reasons, perhaps they could have added something in updated the program that allows people with delegate access to the calendar to make changes/add items. I would imagine the only people who should be making changes to calendar events would have the appropriate delegate permission to do so.

    Definitely!! But is Microsoft listening/reading these is the $16 million question. So far no response/rationale from Microsoft on their own forum.

    The workaround doesn't work if you have confidential attachments that only the invitee should be seeing...those attachments can't be shared with the rest of the invited group.

    I too have to add a meeting beside the calendar invite to add the attachments to - it's REALLY frustrating!!

    Is Microsoft reading this and even listening? Did they test this idea out with PAs before implementing? This makes no sense.

    Microsoft please rethink this idea or at the very least provide us with a rationale for removal of this ability? Thank you
