Displaying a popup each time to define a custom is not wanted in the first place, but I'm confirming that |save a copy| behaves differently then |accept| with regards to adding the default reminder if that is enabled. That should be fixed. Regarding promting for setting a custom reminder, we could think about a preference which is off by default to allow this - I we do so, this should apply to both accepted invitations and saved copies.

As a potential alternative for your use case, accepting an inviation also without sending a reply to the organizer will become more easy and obvious in TB 60, which comes with the additional benefit, that you can update the event in your calendar when receiving an invitation update instead of creating a second copy and deleting the first copy manually.

This adds the default reminder also when adding a received PUBLISHed itip message. This applies also to saving invitation copies since these are faking a PUBLISHed event and inject that in the usual processing.

Reporter, regarding being able to add custom reminders on saving the copy, feel free to file an enhancement request if your not satisfied with this fix, since we first here bring the behaviour when saving an invitation copy to par with the standard behaviour when receiving invitations.
