how do I set the "show time as" field in the Outlook holiday file

[Guest]

I have created a custom Outlook Holiday file for my non-working holidays.
The entries created by the custom holiday file all show a "free" status for
the "show time as" field. Since these are my non-working holidays, is it
possible to create a custom holiday file where aside from adding my
non-working holidays, it also marks those as "out of office". Since they are
showing as free, my co-workers wouldn't know that I will be out office on
those days and may set meetings on those days. I know I can mark them "out
of office" individually. It would be better though if this can be set in the
holiday file.

I don't think Holiday files can affect the status.

Does this mean there's no way to change the "show time as" field
automatically or programmatically?

Not with a HOL file. There may be a way to change it programmatically. Ask
