Copy meetings from one calendar to another no longer supported

I'm using Outlook 365 on my Windows 11 PC, and the Outlook android app on my smartphone. On the PC, I have a work calendar, an association calendar, and a private one. The android app only has the private e-mail account and calendar (this is for security reasons). Until very recently, I have been able to copy meetings from the work and association calendars to the private one on my PC, so that they show up in my android Outlook app.

Microsoft has removed this functionality without warning. Outlook blocks copying meetings with “Copying meetings is not supported.” - Microsoft Support.

The workaround (involving editing the regsitry) works, but what is the long term solution?

    Dave, you are right on target with your reply to Gabriel. M$ has made a science out of non-answering.

    I did find on another post (from a customer, not from M$), a solution to copy a meeting from one date to another - not sure that will address your need, but here it is:

    In Calendar, right click and drag the original meeting to another day (any other day). A box will appear with choices, choose "Copy". The original meeting will now be copied where you placed it. You can then open it and change the date/times to whatever you want.

    Gabriel Bratton, this is not buried earlier in thread, but adding it here again in case it helps:

    Your registry key idea does not work except for a tiny percentage of people.

    Your company, Microsoft, has been displaying immense disregard for us, your customers, who repeatedly have pleaded with them to just fix the problem in the first place. It's mind numbingly, stupefyingly tone deaf that no one from MS Management is getting this in their heads or has the integrity to show up in this forum and explain why they won't fix their own mistake that causes us inconvenience.

    This is buried earlier in thread so adding back here in case it can help.

    You can re-enable the copy meeting capability for Classic Outlook, Outlook blocks copying meetings with “Copying meetings is not supported.” - Microsoft Support.

    I created a registry key file you can download, EnableMeetingCopyInOutlookDesktop. Download EnableMeetingCopy.reg and double click on it to add it to your registry. After you add the registry key restart Outlook to start copying meetings again.

    For New Outlook there is no solution. Please submit feedback via Help, Feedback. The feedback helps drive priority for investment.

    Microsoft discovered that accidentally and contrary to their goal, users actually used a feature. So they removed it.

    Does not work for me.

    Microsoft, please stop ignoring us and this issue; please stop sweeping it under the rug. Talented technical people could fix it.
