Hi,

The latest app has broken several things around adding and editing exercises.

Chiefly, when recording an exercise as a "Workout" I have always been able to "Edit Exercise" and select a new "Activity" which more closely resembles the activity I've just done.

"Edit Exercise" still exists in the current app, but the "Activity" field has been made Read-Only - even tho the app specifies it's a required field!  Date and Start Time can weirdly still be edited - I suspect because the developer has introduced a bug based on widget type.

Now, if I login to my account through the website I can still update the Activity say from "Workout" to "Squash" - but then things gets even weirder on the app!  Check out the screen grabs - most the screens in the app then do update to say "Squash", but if I try to edit it again (not unreasonable), it changes from "Squash" to "Walk" but remains Read-Only.  When I come out of the edit screen it goes back from "Walk" to "Squash".

Clearly this is a bug, and is not intended.  I could add how sloppy it is to release code this untested, but I guess that's evident from my description.

Are Fitbit going to fix this ASAP or at least give customers the option to rollback to the previous version?  Updating all exercises via the website is not an acceptable workaround for more than a few days?
