@exextoc @millerds Could you please let us know if there has been any progress or update on this?

[millerds]

What type of add-in are you creating here? Is this a dialog that is defined in the add-in and run using the dialog API, or is it a dialog that is coming from Outlook? How are you indicating a "custom title"?

[RaveendraReshma]

@millerds, its by using Dialog API.

function OpenDialog(event) {
    Office.context.ui.displayDialogAsync(window.location.origin + '/shell.html', { height: 60, width: 40, displayInIframe: true },

• Only in case of thick client [ Outlook Desktop Old ] the URL is being displayed along with the Title.
• Expected result is only to display the title not the URL.

What type of add-in are you creating here? [subhash044:-Ofiice web add-in using dialog API on click of send ] Is this a dialog that is defined in the add-in [subhash044:- Yes] and run using the dialog API, or is it a dialog that is coming from Outlook?[subhash044:-Here , run using the dialog API] How are you indicating a "custom title"? [subhash044:- We had not provided any custom title , It is taking by default in case of outlook desktop]

[millerds]

I believe the URL showing up is intentional as a security measure and it's not specific to Outlook (WXP would show it as well). Someone else who knows that shared API better would have to comment specifically.
