How can I debug the new Dynamics 365 App for Outlook version 9.0.x?

I have a WebAPI JS error on Quote Entity. It is only occurred in the new Outlook App interface v9.0.x. (see photo)
I know it's an error of my JS code, but it works well on the CRM side (both for classic interface and new UUI).

export namespace Form {
            // GLOBAL VARIABLES
            var formContext;

            export function onFormLoad(executionContext) {
                formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

                if (Grifal.Global.isNewRecord(formContext)) {
                    defaultValues();
                }

                // filtering anyway without account change event:
                filterAddressDestLookup();

                // handler function addOnChange() events:
                addOnChanges();

                // on load event it insert the last address saved:
                insertAccountAddress();

                // on load event it insert the last destination address saved:
                insertDestinationAddress();
            }

            function defaultValues() {
                formContext.getAttribute("effectivefrom").setValue(new Date());
            }

            function addOnChanges() {
                formContext.getAttribute("customerid").addOnChange(insertAccountAddress);
                formContext.getAttribute("customerid").addOnChange(function(){
                    deleteDestinationAddress();
                });
                formContext.getAttribute("customerid").addOnChange(function () {

                    //performs cleanup of the lookup just changes the potential customer(cliente)
                    formContext.getAttribute("disc_indirizzodestinazioneid").setValue(null);

                    filterAddressDestLookup();
                });
                formContext.getAttribute("disc_indirizzodestinazioneid").addOnChange(insertDestinationAddress);
            }
            
            function filterAddressDestLookup() {
                
                //start the dropdown filter on lookup at the click on the search icon(lente)
                formContext.getControl("disc_indirizzodestinazioneid").addPreSearch(function () {
                    filterLookup();
                });
            }
            
            function insertAccountAddress() {
                var accountLookup = formContext.getAttribute("customerid").getValue();

                Xrm.Navigation.openAlertDialog(alertStrings);
            }
        }


So it seems like an error that only happens with Outlook. The error always occurs only in Outlook even if I'm a system administrator.

How can I debug to resolve this error?
On the internet the old documentation is not clear and does not solve the problem for the new D365 version 9.0.x ...

The code, onChange the potential customer, must provide its possible "Indirizzo di Destinazione" (Destiantion Addresses: 1 Account related to N "IndirizzoDestiznazione" Entity) and the default address into the Account. The WebAPI library isn't the official MS library but is valid for the current CRM version.

    Ok, I think is a system authentication error with Outlook Desktop Client. Maybe the latest Office update could resolve the error...I Hope...

    You can't which is why I said to test it in IE which you have already done via your outlook web test above - interestingly the other post got a 401 error with IE and the outlook web app (OWA) so I'm not sure why things are different here...

    Given that I found another link that is unanswered with the same problem I think you will need to raise a support request with Microsoft although I suspect they won't have a better answer than mine....

    Sorry, but then how do I attach IE debugger to Outlook client?

    I will repeat the first bit of my statement above. The Outlook App (when running in the outlook desktop client) uses a hosted IE Process to render and display the Dynamics 365 forms...

    Thanks for the answer, but this error occurred on my Outlook client side 2016 MSO (16.0.4639.1000). While on Outlook Web (both IE and Chrome) the error  doesn't occur... debugging does not report strange errors...

    The outlook app uses IE so you could test things there. The issue doesn't actually seem to be in your Javascript - it's a 401 unauthorised error which is coming from the server via the webapi call...

    The issue is also reported at community.dynamics.com/.../282217 and I remember a couple of other posts around here with a similar issue where external calls are failing but I can't find any with an answer..
