I have an issue where required recipients will show up as optional after sending meeting request, or after updating meeting.is there anything that would "switch" the attendees from required to optional?

Is this calendar a local calendar or is it a public calendar? If it is public what type of Exchange server do you have?

Any reason behind on Outlook having this habit - moving names to optional after updated a meeting request?

by thumbsup2

It has been this way since Outlook 2000 and continues today.

SYMPTOMS

If you invite a Distribution List (DL) to a meeting as Required Attendees, an individual respondent may be logged as an Optional Attendee after accepting the meeting request.

RESOLUTION

Manually change the attendee's status from Optional to Required.

-or-

Expand the DL before sending the meeting request.
