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?

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
