Edit workout not saving changes

[Agazoth]

I trach my treadmill exercises several times a week. Every time i run 3.5 km snd every time my pixel watch 2 tracks 0.37 km.

I understand that this is a very common issue for users of all kinds of wearables and I had the same issue on my pixel watch 1.

I guess the "Edit workout" pane was introduced to enable users to update the actual distance on treadmill exercises, after all those machines are quite accurate when it comes to distance.

The "Edit workout" pane opens with most data from the exercise, except for the distance, which is marked as required.

However, if I put in my distance and push save, nothing is saved.

I would really like this bug to be fixed. Is there ant way the community can raise requests to the product backlog?

Hi, @Agazoth the general issue of editing exercises has been escalated but I'm not aware of any response yet. You will see posts like this  Solved: Re: Can't edit the exercise activity type. Keyboard... - Fitbit Community demonstrating widespread comment.

You can be confident that once the issue is addressed we will hear about it.

@Gr4ndp4 Thanks for your input! That thread you linked is regarding renaming an activity or changing the type of exercise. 

@Agazoth Welcome to the forums. I will gladly help you regarding editing activities on the Fitbit app. 

Was this a workout session manually started on your Fitbit device? If so, please note that manually logged workouts cannot be changed. That should be the reason it will not let you save the changes. 

I recommend you post this as a suggestion. The best place to make your voice heard is the "Product Feedback" board, where you can submit your ideas and share it with other members. The suggestions with more votes are taken into consideration by our developers for new updates or product development. The team in charge is constantly checking these suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Thanks @RodrigoMFitbit ,

I scrolled through the Product Feedback and it seems that this issue has been reported over and over again. One of them is from 2014 and has more then 3100 votes: Ability To Edit Manually Logged Exercise Type - Fitbit Community - several other feedbacks contain similar wording. All of them are requesting the ability to edit manually started workouts, many refer to treadmill but other workout types are among them. This seems to be a request across platforms.

I am actually quite surprised that this is not possible. It is quite clear, that a treadmill is very accurate in regards to distance and it is obviously the watch that has the most correct heart rate. Combining these two datasets would actually give a great basis for analyzing the treadmill data and maybe figure out how to do more exact calculations in the app.

How many points are required for a feature request to be considered worthy for the backlog?
