Calendar automatically adding a 2nd alert to events

How do I stop Calendar from automatically adding a 2nd alert to repeating events? It keeps re-adding the 2nd alert even after I delete the 2nd alert or delete and recreate the event!

Hi, PBIStaran.


I'm glad you decided to reach out on the Apple Support Communities forums today. I understand that the second alert settings aren’t saving after you delete them and/or completely recreate the event.


Are you able to change the default alert setting in your Calendar app? You may need to change the default to get the settings to save when you’re deleting the second alert.

I would also make sure that you’re following the guidance in this section of the Calendar User Guide for managing your event alerts:

Best Regards.
