Technically it is GA.......but in reality OCM is more alpha than beta as you have already discovered. IMHO not a single member of the engineering team properly assessed the requirements for SMB's or even bothered to at least copy the basic features from the popular CRMS. It is so bad that even simple but very important field's such Contact Job Title is NOT a default field. It is hilariously bad. Nice of microsoft employees to redirect you / me / us to the OCM uservoice which has little to no engagement from the OCM team.
The consistent reoccurring theme found in replies from microsoft employees posted in this community is always "clear the cache" and when that doesn't fix the problem Microsoft politely say /s"please go away and leave us a note / suggestion on uservoice". The funny thing is that marketing seems to know what people want in a crm and if the product did 50% of what is implied then it wouldn't be so bad.
