The Basics

  • Nextcloud Server version (e.g., 29.x.x):
    • 31.0.2
  • Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04):
    • Docker
  • Web server and version (e.g, Apache 2.4.25):
    • nextcloud:31 – hence, is using Apache
  • Reverse proxy and version _(e.g. nginx 1.27.2)
    • caddy:2-alpine
  • PHP version (e.g, 8.3):
    • 8.3.19
  • Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No):
    • It’s the first time I’ve tried setting up events
  • When did this problem seem to first start?
    • First time setting up events – longtime NextCloud user
  • Installation method (e.g. AlO, NCP, Bare Metal/Archive, etc.)
    • Docker not AIO
  • Are you using CloudfIare, mod_security, or similar? (Yes / No)
    • No

Summary of the issue you are facing:

I want to use the NextCloud calendar to replace my Google calendar. I have a lot of notifications like on the 15th of each month pay the internet service provider. It’s easy to set up the calendar event, but the purpose is to send myself a notification/reminder.

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

  1. Create an event in the Personal calendar
  2. Leave as default for All Day and whatever day is chosen
  3. Click on More Details so it opens the full editor window at the side
  4. In Details click on add reminder to add a reminder … say 1 day before the event
  5. Click on the ... to bring up the menu, click the e-mail checkbox or notification checkbox
  6. Click on the ... again, and see that your choice is not displayed – none of the checkboxes are selected

Log entries

Nextcloud

Please provide the log entries from your Nextcloud log that are generated during the time of problem (via the Copy raw option from Administration settings->Logging screen or from your nextcloud.log located in your data directory). Feel free to use a pastebin/gist service if necessary.


No messages were logged when clicking on the notification choice

Web Browser

If the problem is related to the Web interface, open your browser inspector Console and Network tabs while refreshing (reloading) and reproducing the problem. Provide any relevant output/errors here that appear.

Blocked aria-hidden on an element because its descendant retained focus. The focus must not be hidden from assistive technology users. Avoid using aria-hidden on a focused element or its ancestor. Consider using the inert attribute instead, which will also prevent focus. For more details, see the aria-hidden section of the WAI-ARIA specification at https://w3c.github.io/aria/#aria-hidden.
