Can't edit activities anymore

[rzouain]

I recently replaced my Charge HR with a Charge 2, which allows you to quicky start an activity. However, the list of activities you can add to the quick start list is rather limited (i.e. in my case, I play soccer, which is available as a category but not on the quick start list), so I was using the generic "Workout" category and later would go to the app/website to edit the name. As of last night, the option to edit activities is no longer available - it will only allow me to edit auto-logged activities. I really don't see why you would want to remove that on purpose. Please bring this feature back.

Hello @seebee65,

I am having the same issue as the previous poster.  I also cannot edit activities.  He has the same issue as me.  I mow the lawns for 2 hours and Fitbit counts it as Riding a Bike.  Uh, no.  We used to be able to edit an activity.  I went on the Community Forum and someone had this problem back in 2015.  It seemed to have been fixed after that as I was able to "edit" an activity via the pencil icon.  However, apparently, an update made somewhere along the line by Fitbit that has disabled the edit function.  When you use the pencil icon to "edit" the activity and click "update", nothing happens.  Frustrating!!

Hello @PattyAW! Thanks for stepping into the Community!

Thanks for reaching out and letting us know that you are experiencing this issue as well. At this moment we do not have any specific updates on the matter, whenever we do have any news we will be sure to let you know. I will be keeping my eyes open.

In the meantime, could you take a screen shot of the activities page and then post it as a reply? That's be helpful.

Look forward to your reply.

Yep, I've got the same problem. I edit the activity, click update and nothing changes. This worked until recently so either the functionality has been changed or there's a bug in the system. Please kindly get it sorted. It's such a basic function. It shouldn't be subject to polls and discussion.

I too have the same problem.  I enter lawn mowing in the edit screen, but the old activity never updates.

Same. Can no longer edit activities which is very annoying. Fitbit seem to be adopting the Apple idea of 'we are so big and successful, we can ignore customers'

Welcome to the Forums @Lloydster.

I absolutely understand how you could feel very annoyed. I will be sure to let the rest of the team about the comments on this thread. Thank you very much for taking the time to let us know.

Feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.

What is the current status of the edit /add additional activities issues? Still not able to add activities on my zip dashboard -although I was able to do so previously. Nothing happens when I click on the walking icon.

Lonni, you will no doubt get the standard response from FitBit to say thanks for letting them know and they'll pass it on to the team. However, the reality is, they don't seem to give a rats **ahem**. This is such a s basic function a 5th grade student could probably sort it out in 10 minutes, but FitBit has been sitting on this for months.

There is currently an issue manually logging activities on the Fitbit.com dashboard. If possible, log an exercise on the Fitbit.com app. You can follow the progress in this thread. 

I will be closing this thread for further comments as it is an older resolved thread.
