Big Sur Calendar Custom Alert to Open File Isn't Working

Calendar will no longer open pdf files via setting up a Custom Alert. This used to work but no longer does. The option is there, yes, but each time I have it set up, it disappears within a minute. Have signed out & in. Have restarted. Hmmm.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
