Allow Fitbit to sync all exercise stats from Health Connect

Activities Fitbit imports from Health Connect contain only the most basic metrics (time, distance, avg speed/pace, energy burned) even if there's much more data available in Health Connect e.g. activity name, heart rate, power, cadence etc.

Even Google Fit is much better at this and imports activity name, HR, speed.
This is needed because:
Without importing at least heart rate these external activities are excluded from cardio load making this feature (and workout readiness) useless. You already have all the data you need in Health Connect, just need to use it.
I'd use this: Daily

There are many posts about external activities and fitbit likes this

The inability to import data from other systems and connect sensors to Fitbit (HRM, power meter) makes the ecosystem less accessible for athletes. I have a bike computer that already records everything. If I want the data in Fitbit, I would have to wear the watch as well to get the data.

I would like to use the Pixel Watch as my everyday device and my bike computer and Suunto watch for sports activities.

Nowadays, we have a format with FIT that everyone supports. So it's just a question of will.
