Allow us to edit exercise details w/o reverting on Fitbit app

[oninojudo]

When I try save an edit to either duration or distance of an exercise session in the Android app, the save button appears to work, the updated data briefly flashes on the session information screen, then reverts to the automatically recorded data.

For years now people have been complaining about the fact that though the app gives you the option to change the distance, it keeps reverting back. This would not be the nuisance it is if it were not also the case that stride calculation is wildly inaccurate--it gave me the pace of a 70 year old!

fitbit edit exercise activity save bug

Bug:

* Android app, latest version.
* Edit exercise from today that I recorded via my fitbit device
* Change duration from 34 to 31 minutes (same behavior for change distance)
* Hit save
* The screen may briefly show 31 but almost immediately reverts back to 34

I have restarted my fitbit device and uninstalled and restarted my phone.

I made a similar request. This was able to be done in the previous version of the app prior to the oct update. It seems like we are supposed to still have this funciton but it does not work properly.

Same situation with my Inspire 3. I actually had been able to edit up until a couple days ago. Now when I edit as others said, the edit flashes on the screen for a moment but then reverts back to the previous minutes. And if I delete the exercise and insert it manually it actually takes steps away from my total!

Well, Google did it again.  They broke a feature of Fitbit again.  And this after they previously fixed it.  A few days ago, there was an update to the Versa 4 tracker and an update to the app.  I play table tennis, an activity that is popular the world over, not so much here in the USA.  My tacker does not have this activity.  So, I would select "workout", before playing, and then later edit it to "table tennis".  I can no longer due this after the update.  The tracker has new activities added, but not table tennis.  So, since adding new activities they decided to eliminate the option to edit the activity you select from their list to the one you are actually doing.  One commentator said that support told him this is what we wanted.  Do they just make this stuff up to gaslight us?  I could see not allowing editing if every activity was there, but that's impractical so eliminating this feature is inexcusable.  I would also point out that since the tracker update, the time spent in heartrate zones is now different.  When I do drills, I work out hard.  My old Versa 1 showed a lot of time in peak and vigorous zones.  When I got the Versa 4, the same activity showed practically no time in peak and very little in vigorous.  Now, it is more like it was originally.  So, I'm confused.  My activity hasn't changed, but my results are different.  Which one is correct?  And finally, since they don't have a windows app, I would sometimes view my dashboard on the web, since it is easier to see things on a larger screen.  That option is no longer available either.

Same problem here - my versa 2 doesn't track distance for some reason so I've been trying to add it in to my exercises manually - it appears to add it correctly and then reverts a few minutes later. Very annoying.
