HI @Kchapman08 - as floors has only an informative value and can often be incorrect, editing it would not provide any really useful health indications.

In order to edit it it would be necessary manually count floors which at the end of the day is purely of historic value and could be retained in any app, such as Sheets.

[Kchapman08]

Isn’t all of the data being collected of historic value? I could count steps, duration of time and my heart beat and keep it in a spreadsheet too. 
Add the ability to edit floors and steps to the Stairclimber exercise, seems like a much requested ask.

@Kchapman08- it could be quite a lot of work trying to keep count of floors just to enter them in the app, when floors are no particular value for following your health, whereas the other data is automatically recorded and is important for health trends. It should be noted that floors also get counted, say when walking up hills, and trying to work how many equivalent flights that would be is no mean task.

[Kchapman08]

Sometimes it’s not practical to be outside walking up hills. I use a stair climber periodically for my daily work out. None of my steps or flights are counted. The stair climber machine tracks this. I would like the ability to take the information from the stair climber, the floors and the steps, and enter it in my stair climber activity in my Fitbit. The Fitbit allows me to edit the stair climber activity, but only the duration of the activity. Why not add relevant fields for this stair climber activity as well: floors climbed and steps.

@Kchapman08- I see, have you considered using a chest strap extension for your watch capable of recording steps. I got some all round good readings using it.

As regards floors it would be nice to manually record them with your activity as the watch can't do that. Unfortunately it is pretty unlikely that floors [for an activity] will ever be editable and would get mixed up with any other floors measured by the end of the day [apples and oranges] if generally addable.
