Actual behavior

Hello team,

when I create an event in a native Calendar app either on iOS or macOS and add a reminder in it, there is an additional reminder set on 1st April 1976 0:55 (UTC). When I create an event and add a reminder through web or another CalDAV client (i.e. built-in calendar in Vivaldi browser) there is no additional reminder set in the event, which is visible only in the web app. This behaviour affects only events with reminders in non-personal calendars.

This might be a client issue, but I face this issue only in non-personal calendars. Is it possible to check?

Similar/same issue was reported already in 2021 and it's already closed as non-reproducable.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. First reproduce the issue with a native iOS or macOS Calendar client against a non-personal calendar, then trace how the web app handles the imported reminder. Done means the event no longer displays an unintended reminder dated 1 April 1976, without breaking valid reminders.
