New integrated objects 'Email' and 'Email Conversation'

There are two new integrated objects in M-Files (I'm using 23.3.12441.10)

Email
Email Conversation

Because of those new objects, there are also two new integrated multi-select properties.

Probably I'm not the only one who normaly includes a field called 'Email' for customer/contact email purposes.

The problem is that I can't disable these properties (because they are integrated) from showing up in the property selection on the metadata card.

This results in having the same property name twice (Email, Email, Email Conversation) showing up.

Of course I can rename them - but I can't disable them.

Anyone else experiencing this or am I the only one having trouble with these new objects?

Ok, so probably I'm the only one who normally adds a property 'email' to be used in contacts/customers/person/employee/... classes

I'm looking forward for all the customers worldwide who update their M-Files Server and afterwards contact their partners asking why there are two values 'email' in the property selection when adding properties to the metadata card.

Not really

But you can hide those using permissions or the advanced vault settings. I presume that that’s what everyone does.

Off course, it would have been better if these objects were only created upon activation of the Advanced Outlook Addin.

That's the problem actually: you can't hide built-in properties, you can only deny users from not editing values

Yes, this actually works - thanks for sharing

Maybe M-Files will include a setting in the future to exclude Advanced Outlook Plugin elements (for non-Advanced Outlook Plugin customers)

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. it still shows as a required property on some document classes.
