Outlook plugin issue with shared calendar improvements new Office 365 feature


With my outlook plugin after enabling new "Shared Calendar Improvements" feature, I have observed getting wrong StoreID (actual user's calendar folder storeID instead of shared calendar folder's storeID) while creating meeting on the shared calendar. This works well without enabling this new feature. I have tried with multiple calendars with/without this new feature enabled.

Below is the code which I am using.

object aptItemParent = aptItem.Parent;
folder = (MAPIFolder)aptItemParent;
storeId = folder.StoreID; ////If I try without shared calendar improvements feature on, it gives correct storeID of the shared calendar where meeting is getting created however, with that feature it gives wrong storeID (main calendar's storeID).

Can you please suggest if this is a known issue and any reference link of it? And is there any fix/workaround to deal with this issue?


Solution

  • Just came to know from Microsoft team that this is a known issue from their end and the workaround is to disable shared calendar improvement features for now.
