We are getting support calls about this as well, August 16th was the first time I'd heard about it, but I'm not sure how far it goes back. To me it seems to make sense and this page seems to highlight the way it works now as the intended way: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/change-an-appointment-meeting-or-event-29b44f7a-8938-4b99-b98d-3efcf45f7613
But we don't get to see the LastModified date for that page and I'm not sure how long that "Important" note has been there. It is nice to see though, because it gives me stuff to point at in the MS Support case which I'm about to open. Will report back with findings from that.

We've been instructed to open a case as well so we're getting moving on that already. Microsoft said others were reporting the same behavior change so we aren't the only ones, this was just the first thread I found reporting the issue. If we hear anything back on our case we'll reply to this thread as well 🙂
Laura_Stone I have this exact same issue with one of my clients. Please let us know what Microsoft says on your support case. I'm going to monitor this thread daily and wait for an update from one of you.
- Confirmed by our Microsoft Engineer, this was changed due to that spoofing vulnerability posted by Jeremy. Due to that, I'm not sure we'll be able to convince Microsoft to change the behavior back. Our users may have to get used to a "new normal."
- Hello again, I've done my support case and it was quick/easy (best ever maybe). But it is confirmed as a change in the product.
Over here (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/editadd-meeting-notes-on-meeting-invite-sent-from/fce7b3b1-b651-4c88-90fd-4cddb48e2a17?page=2), they referred everyone to this official support article:

It's potentially terrible news for some, so I totally understand. I'm also hoping it does bleed over into avoiding some of the meeting issues which I was referring to in the comments on the answers.microsoft link above.
