Invite friends to Premium challenges after creating

After creating a custom challenge, there is no way to add anyone else to it. If I create a new challenge but forgot to add someone, I will have to create a new one from scratch or leave them out until the next one. Whether this is a Sunday to Saturday, a 30 day challenge, or an all-for-one, this is the case. 

Custom challenges is the only reason I have premium and this will be a deal breaker. Please add this as it is already in the regular challenges.

Can we please get the ability invite more people on ALL Premium challenges. Only seem to able to add people when you first create the challenge. Can’t add anyone else after the first initial invite. We need it exactly like the free challenges.

I'm surprised this request is over a year old and still not implemented when it's already a feature in the regular challenges.

Seriously?  We can't add someone to a challenge after it is created even if the challenge hasn't started yet? Wow.  Please add this functionality.  At a minimum you should have a message that alerts us that if we proceed we can't add additional people.

Well bloody  hell, i bought the premium to add more people and for friends to add more - this sucks wood pecker eggs big time.  Can we add this feature already it been over a year!!

I have a six month free trial. If this gets resolved by then, I'll keep the premium. I like the idea of creating bigger groups so I can add all my friends. But not being able to update the invite list is a deal breaker.. along with no chat. Why would I pay premium for less options?

Also How many likes does it take to get noticed?

Silly to limit features for paid subscription.

Voted!

C'mon Fitbit, just add this already! I almost always miss someone when starting challenges, so this lack of capability is quickly becoming a huge pain in the butt!

Surely you'd expect a paid subscription to offer more rather than less than the basic free account right? Adding people to challenges at any time, allowing others to add as well, and posting messages, cheering, etc is a must for Premium to really be worth it for the vast majority. Come on fitbit devs, get it together and push this through. You already have the code, we're not asking for anything brand new, but that you introduce existing functionality to premium features. Thanks!

I would be hella mad had I paid for premium...  Thank goodness I only have the free 90 day trial. This makes no sense pay more get less.

So a whole year has passed since the last comment and we still have to see this feature updated. At the moment it means the Premium challenges are inferior to the free ones. As I only want Premium for the chance to have additional challenges then at present there is no reason for me to purchase premium beyond the trial period.

 

Please:

 

1) Add the ability to add people to custom challenges once already created.

2) Allow friends to invite people to custom challenges.

And still nothing…?  And amazing that such basic functionality was not included by default, especially when paying for “premium”.  Pretty disappointing.

I would like to see this feature as well, would be nice to add people after the challenge has started especially if you forgot to add someone.
