Who knows if this is possible, I can't figure it out, it's macOS, just works easily yeh right.

Create an event on the first day, the with cursor double arrow stretch it to span 60 days I need the event to sound an alert every day at 15:30 without exception.

Double click the event checked All Day
Starts 01/02/2018 to when ever 60 days runs to.
Repeat is None
Alert on day of event 15:30

the alert doesn't sound every day.
I set custom and there's nothing to set the alert for every day at a specific time. There's on day , day after or day before.

uncheck All Day still not option to have daily alert.

The only way I can see is to create an event on one day set up the alert at the time then option drag this single event 60 times...rather tedious because logically, i'd have command copied the event, shift selected the days required then pasted the event to each of those days, but no Apple developers don't think that would be to easy. Or new even repeat x amount of days set time of alert everyday bang done. Really do I need a programming uni degree figure this out?

My guess is that the capability isn't built into the CalDAV (or Exchange?) standard. You can't do it at the Google calendar website, either. Also, the Outlook Web App for Exchange doesn't have it. Apple, Google and Microsoft.

You might find a third party calendar app that will do it but if it's not supported by the CalDAV standard your device would be the only one getting the alerts via that app.

Would this approach work?
