Access Calendar Item of shared calendar on Outlook

I have been struggling over this for some time now.

What do I need: I need to open calendar item of a user who has shared his/her calendar with me.

What I have done so far:

So I have a userA who wants to access to UserB's calendar event and edit it. To access the item, first thing I did is, make UserB share its calendar with User A and give edit permission like below

enter image description here

Now this userA (test1 on pic) have full access. I go ahead and create a new meeting on User B's calendar. Then I open fiddler and grad the event ID from Response:

enter image description here

I am running an add-in on UserA mailbox that has 1 button and onclick it calls

Office.context.mailbox.displayAppointmentForm(itemId)

When I click it, as you may expect I get the event details like below:

enter image description here

Everything is smooth so far. Now I go ahead and click Edit. Since I gave the edit permission , I am expecting to be able to edit it. I go ahead and click edit and this is what I get:

enter image description here

The action could not be completed. Access denied error.

I thought may be it is permission issue, may be giving it edit does not really let it to edit. So I tried giving User A full permission over user B's Mailbox - Not just calendar, whole mailbox- but that did not solve it either.

I have been in contact with Microsoft Dev Chat but unfortunately they could not reproduce my situation, and it seemed to work for them smoothly.

Love to hear some insights and hopefully a solution.

Currently, Outlook add-ins are not fully supported in shared calendars/mailboxes. However, this is a feature that we are currently investigating.
