Setting MapiTask category doesn't work

Aspose.Email Product Family
1

Hello,

I need a help to set a task category using Aspose.Email for Java 20.9.
I’m using the following code but Outlook doesn’t recognize the category:

MapiTask task = new MapiTask();
// setting other properties
// ...
String categories [] = { "Blue category" };
task.setCategories(categories);

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

Hi @mudassir.fayyaz,

Attached to this reply there are 2 screenshots.

  1. screenshot_wrong.jpg - on this screenshot I show the result of my code on creating a new task and setting the category property. (Note that outlook does not show anything on category field)
  2. screenshot_correct.jpg - on this screenshot I manually set Blue category in Outlook for the task. (Note the category property being showed)

Thanks for your help

I can see the issue in snapshot. However, the line of code that you have shared for adding cateogory is fine too. Therefore, I have requested you to please provide the working sample code along with generated output that I may test on my end using Aspose.Email for Java 20.9.1 and verify that.

Hi @mudassir.fayyaz,

Here is my code:

MapiTask task1 = new MapiTask();
task1.setSubject("New test task 1");
	      
String categories [] = { "Blue category" };
task1.setCategories(categories);
        
tasksFolder.addMapiMessageItem(task1);

Thanks
