How do I change the "options" on calendar pop-up notifications?

I am running Big Sur on a MacBook Pro and the "newfangled" responses for pop-up reminders drive me nuts! When I create an alert for a calendar entry that reminds me 1 week before something is due, the pop-up notification no longer has any other options than "snooze" (=5 min!), or snooze up to 1 hour. That's ridiculous - it used to be (Catalina) that one could choose 1 hour, 1 day, or "until date of reminder" (or until 5 min. before reminder etc.). Is there any way to revert back to the much better functionality we had before?

And while I'm at it, why can I no longer change the time zone of an entry in "calendar"? Is there a hidden trick?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Short of reverting back to the OS you had before, no.

I can choose from the created time zone and the time zone I have chosen in the top of the Calendar.

Too bad. It's pretty unbelievable how the Mac OS team is continuously dumbing down the interface...

Thanks for the hint - the trick really IS hidden; one has to enable "time zone support" in the "advanced" preferences of Calendar - something that was always available in the past (see above).
