Can I import or sync Office 365 group calendar categories with that calendar on the desktop Outlook client?
I have an Office 365 Group with a calendar that I would like to use on my desktop Outlook client (version 16.0 under Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus Subscription). I'm aware that Microsoft is still working on getting this functionality working by default (see the UserVoice request) and I have used the workaround to favorite the 365 Group calendar so that it shows up on my desktop Outlook client.
The problem is that the custom categories we have added to the web view for the calendar have not made it back over to the desktop Outlook client.
Is there any way to get these categories to sync/show up in the desktop client so that when I create an event on the calendar, I can apply one of those categories and have it have the same category applied when I view the calendar online?
I should clarify that I am looking for a solution that applies to a whole group of people, not just me (so I can't just go in and manually set categories to match on my desktop client; that won't help my fellow employees who also need to see this calendar on their desktop client).
