How can I change the period after I've set reminder to snooze?

[mdbluebonnet]

I accidentally set the snooze period on a particular calendar item reminder
to "5 minutes before" so that, in effect, I will get the reminder for this
appointment too late. I can pull up the calendar item, and it shows the
reminder for one day. How can I edit the snooze period on the reminder? I
don't see it until the snooze expires.

Thank you for your help. This item is a recurring calendar item. I tried
removing the reminder on the specific occurance, saving, and then adding it
for the specific occurance. After no new reminder popped within a few
minutes, I repeated this procedure for the series. Still no new reminder has
popped up!

Any more ideas?

I have learned many new techniques during my research on this problem!

Try removing the reminder and resetting it.

Did you save it after removing the reminder, before resetting it?

Thank you, that does seem to be the problem! I went back in, and that
occurence had "none" for reminder, while the series had "1.5 days". I
wondered whether I could have indeed failed to save it, but after several
tries have discovered that it won't let me save anything in that field now!
I guess I'll have to remove the recurrence and redo that?

Thank you! I think I was trying to save it with more hours than there were
left. I finally got it to save last night, and this morning I have my
reminder back! I appreciate your help.
