How to I set up email alerts in iPhone calendar?

Before, when I would create a new event on my Iphone's Calendar (or Mac) the option of sending an email alert would appear. Now the only way I can do it is if I create an event in my Mac Calendar, and manually set an email alert - it is not even possible to choose the email alert option on the iPhone. When I try to set up my default alerts the sending email option doesn't appear. I'm attaching a screen shot of how it used to be when I created a new event (with email notification appearing by default), how it is now, and how I've tried to set up the alerts according to other help articles here.

1) how it used to be when I created a new event

2) how it is now on mac:

3) how it is now on iPhone:

how I've tried to work around it on the iPhone

For mac that works, that’s how I have been doing it, but it’s not automatic and I have to do it manually for every new event I create. I would like to set it up as default for every new event and to be able to do it on my iPhone as well

Set an alert for an event

In the Calendar app on your Mac, double-click or force click an event to view event details, then click the event’s time.
Click the Alert pop-up menu, then do one of the following:

- Choose a time or day.
- Choose Time to Leave. This option only applies if you added a location. For information about how time to leave is calculated, see Add a location.
Choose Custom, then choose an option:
- - Message: Displays a notification on the screen.
  - Message with sound: Displays a notification on the screen and makes a sound.
  - Email: Sends you an email. (It works I have tried, just now)
Open file: Opens the file you choose.

To add another alert, place the pointer over the Alert pop-up menu, then click the Add button .
You can set only one alert for Exchange events.

To remove an alert, click the Alert menu, then choose None.
