When creating a meeting, the categorize button is greyed out. It can be changed after the meeting is created but not during. Every computer that is upgraded to this version has the option greyed out. Has anyone else seen or can anyone else confirm this?

It's a known issue at Microsoft...



ISSUE



When creating a new calendar event or appointment in Outlook 2016 for Mac version 15.30, you are unable to categorize it and the Categorize icon appears grayed out.



STATUS: WORKAROUND



We are working on a fix estimated for the next release. As a temporary workaround, you can save the calendar item without categorizing it and then reopen it again. The Categorize icon should be enabled.

Thank you Gary,



May I ask where did you found that it is a known issue?

they have a "Solutions to known issues" page, handy to keep an eye on it.
