Why is the 'created' changeType change notification not triggered for group creation in MS Graph?

Question

Hi,

I am working with Microsoft Graph change notifications and have set up a subscription to listen for the created changeType for groups. However, when a group is created, it seems that only the updated changeType is triggered instead of the created changeType. I also receive the deleted changeType when a group is deleted.

I wanted to ask if this behavior is intentional. Is it expected that the created changeType is not triggered when a new group is created, and instead only the updated changeType is sent? If this is by design, could you provide clarification on why this happens and any potential workarounds for correctly receiving notifications for newly created groups?

Thank you!

Hi Marko Uljarevic,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft!

As mentioned in the Microsoft documentation, it is a limitation.

Creation and soft-deletion of groups also trigger the updated changeType.
