Some years ago I complained of being forced to enter whole numbers in the distance field when entering manual figures in the distance field (training - walking e.g.
I find this very annoying, and it should be a small issue to repair.
Some say it has to do with the language ro keyboard settings?
But how then can I change those for the better?
Nothing has changed since my first complaint.

Hi @Chywan
I tested the Create Activity Log endpoint and it does support inserting a decimal for distance. Here's an example I created
curl -X POST "https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/-/activities.json?activityId=90013&manualCalories=20&startTime=04%3A00...distance=2.5"
-H "accept: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
-H "authorization: Bearer <access_token>" -d ""
{"activityLog":{"activityId":90013,"activityParentId":90013,"activityParentName":"Walk","calories":20,"description":"Walking less than 2 mph, strolling very slowly","distance":2.5,"duration":28000,"hasActiveZoneMinutes":false,"hasStartTime":true,"isFavorite":false,"lastModified":"2022-01-12T20:55:25.648Z","logId":<id>,"name":"Walk","startDate":"2022-01-12","startTime":"04:00","steps":1578}}
Please let us know if you have problems doing it yourself.
