Thunderbird Calendar does not allow multiple reminders / notifications to be set
Hello Mozilla team! I haven't used Thunderbird Calendar in a while, and going back to it, everything is fine and actually much better (there was a time I could not shut off notifications, now it's working as expected)
Except... I would like to set multiple reminders to some events; for example: 1 hour before AND 1 day before AND 15 mn before.
Unfortunately, the UI won't let me add more than 1 reminder.
Is there a way to add multiple reminders / notifications to an event ? Thanks!

I spoke too soon. Multiple reminders have been available for years (see picture).

I think you have to create multiple events: select an event, Ctrl+C to copy, Ctrl+V to paste. Open the pasted event and change the reminder. Repeat for additional events and reminders. The events will appear as in the attached picture.
oh... well that's not ideal cause... it's not an event with multiple reminders but rather several events with 1 reminder.
You see, I believe what you suggested is a workaround and not an ideal one...
Clearly other Calendar apps support this scenario with 1 single event; I have attached screenshots for both Android stock Calendar app and macOs stock Calendar app.
Finally; I feel that the support for a single event with multiple reminders is almost there; look at how Thunderbird Calendar rendered the reminders for the test event I created with 3 reminders: it displayed the 3 reminders in the reminder window (3rd screenshot)

Yes, thanks that was it; it's a bit hidden and not as convenient as other Calendar apps (several clicks to reach it) but it is there.
Thanks @sfhowes
