In the past we were able to add labels to meetings in OWA (only in read mode though) this functionality no results in an error:

code: 5000
name: "Host Error"
message: "The operation is not supported."

when in browser it fails when syncing a meting someone else created but succeeds if it is a meeting i created
in desktop it still works either way

Your Environment

• Platform [PC desktop, Mac, iOS, Office on the web]: Web
• Host [Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc.]: Outlook calendar
• Office version number: latest
• Operating System: mac/windows
• Browser (if using Office on the web): chrome

Expected behavior

label added when function called

Current behavior

Steps to reproduce

1. be sure label exists in master label list, if not add it
2. open meeting someone else created
3. run

Office.context.mailbox.item.categories.addAsync([label], function (asyncResult) {
   console.log('categories.addAsync call will fail', asyncResult);
 });
