Manually entering distance, why can't I enter decimals?

[AnnemiekeB]

I find it quite annoying that after a walk or a bike ride i can only enter whole km's. If I cycle for 9.4 km I either loose 400m or have to add another 600 which means the time travelled and calories burned are never a true reflection of what I've done. There is a . and a , on the keyboard when I enter the dictance but I cannot confirm when I use them.

@AnnemiekeB- this is interesting.  I just opened the Fitbit app and manually entered a walk for 5.2 miles, and it saved it and calculated the steps. Then I manually entered a walk for 9.4Km, and it took it and converted it to 5.84 miles and saved it.   Not sure why yours won't accept a decimal entry.

Maybe it's the device? I have an Alta, which is yours?

I experience this on my Android App (using a FitBit Charge 2). If I press comma ( , ) on the keyboard nothing happens in the input field. If I press period ( . ) on the keyboard it appears and I can enter the decimals, but when I save the period disappears and the number changes from fx 5,6 km to 56 km.

I have Android 8.0.0 and Fitbit firmware is 22.22.55.2.
