How to set "Multiple Alerts: in Calendar?

My calendar has recently changed-and much for the worse. The two features I have noticed have gone are both what I used to rely on.


I always used the two alerts for an event: for instance, on a distant event, I would be reminded a week before-then on the day of the event. Now my calendar only has one alert. Why has Apple taken it upon itself to remove this feature?


The second one that I really miss is they have removed the ability to attach a file into the "notes" section. I used this all the time to attach tickets etc to various events. Its loss is a considerable inconvenience.


Is there any I can revert to my previous-much better-calendar?

What device are you using? Mac? iPhone? iPad? Some combination?


On my Mac, I can add more than one alert. Add the first alert then hover over it and tap the "+" sign at the right of the alert to add another.


I don't see that there is a way to add a link to a file. You can add a file in the calendar in iCloud and it will be available in Calendar on your Mac.


You should let Apple know what you'd like to see here:

There are, however, lots of other calendar applications available for Macs. One of them may better suit your needs.

I can confirm this; only a single alert appears to be available per entry. That's a nuisance.

This, however, still seems to be working fine for me. The ability to add attachments is in the "Add Notes, URL or Attachments" section.
