Hi Ona,
Could you help me better understand your scenario? So this is what I'm observing:

- When you copy a meeting with invitees from personal calendar to group calendar, it gets copied as a meeting and invite gets sent to all group members.
Is this what you're observing as well? If so, if the question is whether there's a workaround for case #2 (do not send invites to group members when a meeting with invitees from personal calendar gets copied to group calendar), there's no workaround.

Maria, #2 is the scenario that I'm interested in, in which (per your statement) there is no workaround,
If a manager accepts a personal invitation from a subordinate, it would great if the manager/invitee could copy/paste the personal invite into the Group calendar without sending out a group calendar invite. Right now, 2 steps have to be done to accomplish this:(
I will add this to the user voice for future consideration. Thank you.
