Office.js - Outlook - saving a unsaved appointment using saveAsync

In my main compose form in an Outlook add-in written in the new office.js API I want to be able to save a unsaved appointment.

By unsaved I mean that the user double-clicked on the calendar, wrote some data on the subject and didn't clicked "Save" just went straight to my add-in by opening the compose form.

When I call Office.context.mailbox.item.saveAsync I'm getting following error displayed for the user:

Error: the event couldn't be created on the server. Please try again.

and a pop-up displays a similar message:

Couldn't create the following event: [EVENT_NAME]

any tips how to save this event?

Above behavior is on Outlook Web App.

Solution

  • Please unselect the All day checkbox on the appointment compose form and then call saveasync, it should work. This happens to be a known issue that we are addressing.
