    Assigneduser in the CRMmeeting isn`t always the one who created the meeting inOutlook

    Hello colleagues,
    I noticed a small bug when integrating with Outlook Calendar. It is not entirely clear whether this is a bug or a feature.
    If Outlook calendar integration is enabled for two users, the assigned user in the CRM meeting is not always the one who created the meeting in Outlook Calendar.
    Replay steps:
    1. User1 creates a meeting in Outlook Calendar for User2.
    2. User2 accepts the meeting.
    3. Outlook Calendar is synchronized with CRM.
    4. In CRM, User2 is set in the Assigned User field for the created meeting (not the User1). User1 and User2 are displayed separately in the Attendees field.

    Perhaps this is a local problem, if necessary, I can record a detailed video of the problem.

    If Outlook calendar integration is enabled for two users
    Does this mean that you enabled access to External Accounts and connected each of the Users?

    The questions arise:
    - To which calendars in External Accounts did you connect them? Screenshots of the settings from Administration > User_name > External Accounts > Outlook of each of the Users are needed. Also send a screenshot from Administration > Integration > Outlook.
    - Maybe you have one common Calendar on the Outlook side for two Users?

    In general, when each User connects their personal Outlook Calendar, there are no problems (confusion) because synchronization occurs between the EspoCRM and Outlook Calendars of the same User. This is logical and does not require granting access to External Accounts to all Users.

      Hey Victor,

      Yes, sure.

      1. Yes, connected, please check it User1 https://prnt.sc/IMZyyKhaKmH2 , User2 https://prnt.sc/oR3wsHYXwSr8
      2. Not a common. It is a diffrent calendars.

      I assume that after creating the Outlook meeting, the synchronization happens for each user separately.
      CRM creates the CRM meeting and stores the meeting ID for User2. And when it synchronizes for User1, CRM already sees the meeting with the existing CRMID, adds the User1 to the existing meeting. And, perhaps, there is no record anywhere of who actually created the meeting and who should be assigned user for it.​
