After UPDATING Contact in Outlook, GET Contact API doesn't return correct business address

Question

After UPDATING Contact in Outlook, GET Contact API doesn't return correct business address

Robert Knar 0

I created a Contact in Outlook and saved it. The contact is created fine (see reference picture).

I then update the business address in Outlook by changing one field. After I call the GET, it doesn't return the complete address (see below):

Just interested in why the full info isn't being returned.

Hello Robert Knar,
Thank you for reaching out to this Q&A forum.

I have done some test from my end and I was unable to reproduce the issue.
I have updated my contact by Outlook and with PATCH API call, for both updates the Get, /me/contacts/{id} show full and correct address.
Here is my outputs;-
My sample contact will all null properties
User's image

updated business address through Outlook and it shows in Get call-

#I updated business address through PATCH call

#it shows in the Get call as well

Please double check your contact ID and make sure you have updated the same contact id and calling the same id for your Get request.
Hope that helps.
Thanks

Okay so steps for reproduction (we will be doing this from outlook.office.com and the outlook desktop application):

I have this contact here on my outlook desktop app -> Screenshot 2023-06-14 103154.png

If I run the get on graph explorer it returns things just fine Screenshot 2023-06-14 103311.png

Now if I got to my office web application and make a change to the address it looks like this (all good so far) -> Screenshot 2023-06-14 103707.png

If I do the GET on graph explorer it then returns that reduced data set that I showed in my previous comments a couple days ago -> Screenshot 2023-06-14 103804.png

And here's the kicker, if I go back to my desktop outlook application it then changes the business address info for my contact when I open it up to edit to this (and also it still hasn't updated my viewing page for the contact) -> Screenshot 2023-06-14 104136.png

Sorry for not clarifying this a little earlier. I see that it works just fine with the desktop app but when you involve the web application for outlook it seems that things aren't reflecting correctly.
