Editing meeting invites others have sent
Hi all,
O365 administrator here, and looking to see if there's any feature updates that have prevented the editing of calendar invites that others have set up?
Classic example:
PA is the PA for a COO
The COO is sent an invite to a meeting
The PA attempts to attach papers to that meeting, but is unable to
The organizer is someone external, and this used to be possible previously.
Has something changed in the July or August releases that would cause this?

JAGH888 I am experiencing the same issue but would like to add more details as I am curious if my experience is unique. In the longer past, I can edit everything of an invite I received for myself, and for the calendar I have delegation access (including changing the time to the exact time I want, editing the subject line and notes section, and attaching documents). I am not 100% sure but I think it's when we moved to O365 or at some point after we moved to O365 (even though I continue to access using desktop Outlook), I can still edit the subject line, notes, and add attachments but I can no longer change the time. Then, just recently, I can no longer edit the notes and attach documents but I can still edit the subject line. I now can also change the time again but only by dragging the invite and it needs to stick with the hour or 30 min. For example, I cannot change an invite from 1- 2 pm to 1 - 1:15 pm but I can shrink it to 1 - 1:30 pm.
- This issue happens after installing the Outlook Desktop August 8th, 2023, security updates.
- Thanks for this specific information. Editing an Outlook calendar invite sent by someone else had been a helpful Outlook function. Microsoft needs to quickly restore this function to Outlook.
- We've run into this problem as well, running Outlook 365. It seems to have broken around version 2306. We can edit events on version 2301.
JAGH888 This was part of the 8/08 update

I have tested it, removed kb5002459 and the invite was no longer read only. We have onprem and use Outlook 2016 but I think you can roll back your Office version
