Hello, I have been tasked with modifying one of our companies applications. The application tracks changes to our production server and adds a calendar event for the change's deployment to the calendars of people who are Implementers of the change.

The issue is, we want it so that some Implementers (required implementers) have the event marked as "Busy" time, while other implementers (nonrequired) still have the event show up on their calendar, but have it marked as "Free" time. When creating the event in the API, there is a showAs property that allows setting the event as Busy/Free/Etc, but I've yet to find a way to set that status on an individual attendee level. I know that attendees can manually set the event status in their own outlook client without modifying the showAs status for the entire event, is this possible to accomplish using the API?
