Microsoft Graph API: GET Outlook Calendar Event: Filter by Organizer Email

Question

I'm trying to GET Outlook Calendar event by organizer email.

Here is the request URL I'm using:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/events ?$filter=organizer/emailAddress/address eq 'john@gmail.com'

The request fails with this error:

501 Not Implemented: {
 "error": {
 "code": "UnsupportedEntityExpression",
 "message": "'i => (i.Organizer.EmailAddress == \"john@gmail.com\")' is not a supported filter expression.",
 "innerError": {
 "request-id": "62206cba-ad9e-4051-b504-321cbcacc6fd",
 "date": "2017-08-04T23:39:47"
 }
 }
 }

FYI I'm running this request on an iPaas called Workato and this is the error message displayed on it.

What puzzles me is that this similar request works: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/events ?$filter=organizer/emailAddress/name eq 'john doe'

Both name and address are properties of emailAddress so I'm not sure why the first request fails.

Has anyone filtered by organizer email before?

I could reproduce this error , and find a thread talking about same topic: https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-docs/issues/426

It seems a bug and hasn't been fixed currently .
