Default reminders for different calendars

I run two calendars, but each has a different default reminder setting. The main setting, in Tools/Options/Calendar has the default setting off. This is the case when creating a new event in one calendar, but in the other, it has a default reminder of 30 minutes. I want the default setting turned off for both, but can't see how to isolate the settings. I am running latest release of Thunderbird 68.12 in Windows 10. Both calendars use the Google plug-in to synchronise with Google calendar on mobile devices.

The default option from TB will trigger on Google Calendar the notification according with the settings from Google. In TB you can change only for the "home" calendar that default to be none, but if you want Google calendars to be off (as reminders) then you need either to set manual in TB for that event no notification either to set on Google side the default as no notification. In google calendar - go to settings, scroll down in the left pane till you see that calendar - below "Settings for my calendars" - click on desired one and change "Event notifications" and/or "All-day event notifications" according with your needs...
