iPhone Calendar alert reverts when setting a second alert

I'm trying to set a second alert for an appointment in my iphone calendar so I get a reminder one day before. When I enter the appointment, it shows two alert fields: the first one, labelled simply "Alert" is set at 2 hours before; the second one, labelled "Second Alert," reads "Default (2 hours before)." I want to set another alert for 1 day before. I tried to change the first one to "1 day before," but it keeps reverting to "2 hours before." So I tried changing the second one. Same thing. My calendar is not synced to any other calendar. The appointment is a week in the future.


Any suggestions as to why this is happening and what I can do about it?

Please ignore my question posted just now. I rebooted my phone and it's working ok now.
