In Outlook if I select Do Not Send a Response does my acceptance not get noted?

Question

I have been doing this for ages - when I don't want to spam someone's inbox I accept invites and select do not send a response.

But recently (although I suspect it's always been this way) people have been saying that they see my response as 'None' when they look at the Tracking tab.

I saw that some people have complained of this in the past, but I would have assumed that it's not possible that this could still be the behaviour as it makes literally no sense that when I have accepted an invite, my response is shown as None.

Can anyone confirm behaviour as it's a little confusing

Thanks!

Thanks, I'm constantly amazed about usability choices Microsoft product people make. Having moved off Google Workspace I can safely say it is about 1000 times worse

Yes, when you select "Do Not Send a Response", your acceptance is not recorded in the organizer’s tracking tab. Essentially, Outlook does not notify the organizer, so your response remains as "None" in their tracking list.

All this time, I have been thinking the organizer sees my response, but did not get an email notification.&nbsp; Glad to know it is showing "None", I will need to make sure I do not use this opton going forward.
