Hi Dynamics 365 Community,


Recently, we have had a problem that duplicate contact is created in Outlook when users use App for Outlook to add that contact in Dynamics 365. I'm informed that this is a gap at the moment that MS can't address but just wanted to bring it up here for future reference.


Below are the reproducing steps:

  • Create a contact in Outlook
  • Assign a category to this contact (e.g., “Contractor”)
  • Draft an email to the contact and add this contact to Dynamics 365 using the Dynamics 365 App for Outlook
  • Observe that there will be two contacts, one with the category “Contractor” and one with “Tracked by Dynamics 365”.
  • Expected result: The original contact should be added with Tracked to Dynamics 365 category instead of creating a duplication.
