No Option for a 2 Week (or more) Reminder

I'm using the Outlook app for Mac and there is no option to set a 2 week reminder for events on my calendar. Is there a way to force this? My coworker using a PC is able to type in a custom reminder time for any event, but I'm limited to the few options below only. I know I can set a default reminder time in my settings, but I don't want a default reminder for 2 weeks for all my calendar events. I just want it for specific events.

    Hi @Carolina P ,

    Thanks for your post in our forum. Based on my tests and research, the ability to set a custom reminder time for a meeting is not feasible in Outlook for mac currently.

    If you would like to have this feature to be introduced to Outlook for Mac, we recommend you make a suggestion via this link.

    Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future.

    Warm thanks!
