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?

    Okay, but not everything on the calendar is a meeting. I frequently block time for specific tasks and sometimes a few hours each day in a week. I used to control+C, control+V to do that, but those controls don't work anymore. So now I need to duplicate and then either drag the entry or change the dates multiple times.

    Did the Outlook team really not realize that people put both meetings and non-meetings on their calendars? Also, if people want to copy meetings, let them do it. Give them a pop-up if you're that worried about the outcome, but don't block the functionality when it's been available for ages.

    Hi Anna,

    Thanks for the help. In my situation, I'm trying to coy meetings within a profile that I manage, but it's not my personal profile. I manage the development calendar for my company as a shared calendar owner, but it has a unique profile. Even when I create one meeting in the shared calendar I cannot copy/paste into the same calendar. I could up until the last update, it was very helpful for irregular recurring meetings.
