Copy meetings from one calendar to another no longer supported

Anonymous

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?

    This isn't my discovery, so I'm not taking the credit.

    Drag the calendar item over to the Calendar Name on the left list. (like if you're moving a file to a different folder) I don't use online Outlook, but this did work in the desktop version.

    AGREE!!! Microsoft do you hear us!!!

    RETURN ABILITY TO COPY MEETINGS!!!

    (I have many meetings that need to recur - but are not able to do so on a regular occurrence/series).

    RETURN ABILITY TO ADD AN ATTACHMENT TO A MEETING I DID NOT CREATE!!!

    (I add/attach agendas sent in emails to my execs meeting invite so it is there and they don't need to look for it)

    RETURN THE FULL MENU - INSTEAD OF THE SHORTENED THEN HAVING TO CLICK "SHOW MORE OPTIONS"!!

    (What? Now I have to click two times?!)

    RETURN ABILITY TO RIGHT CLICK AND DROP DATE IN AN EXCEL CELL -
    (What? Now we have to ctrl and click to drop something in a cell?!)

    So much for efficiency.....I used to like my job....but Microsoft is making it very difficult.....

    Yes, same with me. I have my personal calendar and one for my department that I created. I can't Ctrl C > Ctrl V from my personal calendar to the department calendar and it's extremely frustrating. Is there another work around? Can I open the meeting series from my personal calendar and forward to the department calendar somehow?
