The new "Related" feature for the Email entity in Dynamics 365—currently in preview—indeed allows associating an email with multiple records, which addresses a common limitation in Dynamics 365. This feature is especially useful for tracking emails across various contacts, accounts, or cases without duplicating the records. However, as you've noted, it's currently restricted to the Email entity only.
As of the latest updates, Microsoft has not publicly announced a timeline or specific plans to expand this functionality to other activities, like Appointments, Tasks, or Phone Calls. However, due to the positive feedback and demand for multi-entity associations across different activity types, it’s likely that Microsoft is evaluating extending this feature to other entities, particularly Appointments.
Monitor the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform Release Plans: Microsoft publishes semi-annual release plans (Wave 1 and Wave 2), which provide a roadmap of upcoming features, including planned expansions and general availability dates for previews.
Join the Dynamics Insider Program: This program allows users to get early access to previews and new features. Feedback from insiders often influences Microsoft’s decisions on expanding functionalities.
Microsoft Idea Portal: If this is a priority feature for your organization, consider upvoting existing suggestions or creating a new suggestion on the Microsoft Idea portal for Dynamics 365. This portal helps Microsoft gauge customer interest in feature requests.
In the meantime, here are some workarounds to manage associations for other activities, like Appointments:
Currently, Microsoft has not committed to extending the "Related" feature beyond the Email entity. The feature is in preview, and Microsoft may be assessing its stability and user feedback before deciding on further development. Monitoring release plans and engaging with the Dynamics community are the best ways to stay updated on this feature's future trajectory. For now, consider using Connections or custom relationships as a workaround for other activity types.
