Set mets for custom activity type

When I browse activity types I see they have a "mets" field. From what I read this is used for the calculation of calories for the activity.

 

When I create a custom activity type the "mets" value is -1 and my calorie value is displayed as a negative value. 

 

Is there any API available to set the "mets" field on a custom type so a valid calorie value will be calculated for the custom activity?

 

Standard Type - has mets field

{
"accessLevel": "PUBLIC",
"hasSpeed": false,
"id": 15690,
"mets": 8,
"name": "Tennis, singles"
},

Custom Type - mets field is -1

   {
"accessLevel": "PRIVATE",
"hasSpeed": false,
"id": 38088988,
"mets": -1,
"name": "Custom1"
},

Hi @devcolabs

 

I don't think it's possible to enter a met value for custom activities through the dashboard or the Web APIs.  I'd recommend filing an enhancement request on the Feature Suggestion board.
