Contacts' birthdays added without reminder, how to activate reminder?

[mattuschek]

Hello,

I added the birthdays of the contacts in the Fossify Calendar.
I didn't pay any attention to it and left it set to "No reminder".

Now I can't find a way to activate a reminder for birthdays afterwards.
Was that forgotten?
Or is the option very well hidden?

You have to remove all birthdays and synchronize again. The easiest way is:

1. Go to Settings → Manage event types.
2. Tap three dots next to birthdays and select Delete → Permanently remove affected events.
3. Add contact birthdays once again with reminders turned on.

Thanks for the solution.

The app needs improvement in this area.
Other apps can do this better...

I've used Permanently remove affected events in order to delete birthday.

• There's two entries one for Birthday and one for Birthday date => It recreates the two entries after quit and reopened.
  (Only birthday is needed for me.)
• I can't set reminder at 12:00 for all birthdays
