Missing reminders from a professional shared calendar

[walrus543]

Hello,
I shared my Outlook pro calendar: https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/…/reachcalendar.ics
I added this url on my nextcloud server.
The calendar appears in Davx5 on my Android device. Then I add the link into ICSx5 to enable the synchronisation.

All my pro events have a reminder. None of them is synchronised.
Is it a known problem? Is there something I can do to synchronise the reminders?

Thank you.
Android 11 / Oneplus 3T (ROM based on LineageOS)

I have tried to create an event from Outlook, and added a reminder for 1 hour before, and this is the ICS output:

There's no reminder, so my first thought is that Outlook does not support reminders in the ICS file format. Without further information, there's nothing we can do, sorry.

@ArnyminerZ actually I also shared the same ics with my ProtonCalendar account and I do have the reminders.
If you need additional information, let me know.
Actually I think that Proton automatically adds the reminder so it doesn't come from the ics link.

[ArnyminerZ]

Can you give some examples of the generated ics? You can include just one event that you know has the reminders. I'm not able to get any reminders from my Office 365 Pro edition. Maybe there's some admin configuration.

Yes, Proton is surely adding the reminder automatically, there are no alerts on this event. You can do the same on ICSx5, just select the option to add a default notification from the subscription settings.

[walrus543]

@ArnyminerZ Sorry but I see no option

[ArnyminerZ]

Oops, it's in fact an option in the next version 😅. I believe that if you join the beta program, it will be available, @rfc2822 can confirm. Otherwise, please just wait a little bit, the feature is implemented, we are just working on other things before releasing the next version. You can see how it will work here

[walrus543]

That's a good news :) If I understood well it will be possible to add a default reminder on all events.
Unfortunately I won't able to use it since I have events and all-day events and I don't want to get a notification 15min before an all-day event (at 11:45pm) :D
