I'd like to be able to add a drop-down field to Outlook's 'New Event' window that would allow a user to select from a list of options (such as project codes). Then I'd like to be able to retrieve that data via Microsoft Graph in other applications within our tenant, such as creating daily reports in Power Automate. 

 

The ability to sync/pull lists from popular external payroll/billing services (e.g., Unanet) would be an excellent addition as well.

Hi Dave,

The best place to add new feature requests to outlook is here: Outlook · Community (microsoft.com)

 

Graph does support schema extensions for events: Add custom data to groups using schema extensions - Microsoft Graph | Microsoft Docs but this would require you to build an Outlook Add-in or integration of some kind to let the user specify this. 

 

An individual user could use categories for this, which are available with the graph API GetEvent. 

 

If you are looking for something more turnkey - Dynamics does integrate with Outlook, you can associate mail and calendar items to Dynamics entities through the add-in. Dynamics also includes a full Project Operations for Time Tracking and resource optimization: Project Operations | Microsoft Dynamics 365
