Hi @ystvan We tried to repro this on Outlook on the Web/New Outlook and Legacy Outlook on Windows but could not reproduce this issue. We tested by checking the Office.context.mailbox.item properties on a recurring event in the future. Could you share your add-in manifest? Which property do you see as null? On which platform do you see this issue - Legacy Outlook or New Outlook? Please collect the log files and share with us - https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-js/wiki/Collecting-log-files-for-Outlook-Add%E2%80%90ins-issues

Sure thing, before I share my manifest xml, is it OK to obfuscate some values like URLs?

Which property do you see as null?

everything is null, except two properties: itemType and seriesId

On which platform do you see this issue - Legacy Outlook or New Outlook?

New outlook

ystvan commented 3 months ago

@neprasad-microsoft @exextoc shared a repro https://github.com/ystvan/OutlookRepro

Single event works

Recurring event from Outlook Web

Recurring event from Outlook Windows Desktop (New not Legacy)

Notice all the missing properties

Repro steps

Create a recurring event for next week, daily occurrences running for 2 weeks
Open the web add in when selecting an occurrence
See debug point on itemafter Office.onReady

neprasad-microsoft commented 3 months ago

Hi @ystvan This is happening because in Monarch the item opens in edit mode and in OWA the item opens in Read mode. Both of these have different set of APIs and properties on item. This is expected behaviour.

ystvan commented 3 months ago

@neprasad-microsoft

This is happening because in Monarch the item opens in edit mode and in OWA the item ope

What is Monarch? Can I change the behaviour? Can I open in Monarch in read mode? Can you please point me to a documentation where can I read upon it?

ystvan commented 3 months ago

@neprasad-microsoft Is there any kind of item in Monarch that holds the information I need

item.itemId,
item.subject,
item.start,
item.end,
item.dateTimeCreated,
item.dateTimeModified,
item.location,
item.organizer,
item.itemType,
item.seriesId,
item.sensitivity

neprasad-microsoft commented 3 months ago

Hi @ystvan All of these will be available as async properties on the appointment compose surface - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/outlook/office.appointmentcompose For example to get the subject you can write something like this - Office.context.mailbox.item.subject.getAsync((result) => { if (result.status !== Office.AsyncResultStatus.Succeeded) { console.error(Action failed with message ${result.error.message}); return; } console.log(Subject: ${result.value}); }); Copied from - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/outlook/office.appointmentcompose?view=outlook-js-preview#outlook-office-appointmentcompose-subject-member
