Unable to Set Goals for activeZoneMinutes using WEB API

[sotky]

Hello,
Has it become impossible to set goals for activeZoneMinutes using the WEB API?

I have been using the Create Activity Goal API to set goals for activeZoneMinutes.

However, recently I have been receiving the following error: "400 Client Error: The value 'activeZoneMinutes' is not a valid value for field Type."

I have been making API requests based on the information provided in the following reference: Create Activity Goals - Fitbit Developer API.

Hi @sotky 

Would you please provide the endpoint syntax your attempted to execute?

Thanks!

Hi @sotky 

I wanted to let you know that I think I have reproduced your problem where you cannot create an activeZoneMinutes goal.   I have submitted a ticket to our engineering team to investigate.   I'll update this post once I have some more information on the problem.

I’ve been trying to update the start and end times for hourly step tracking, but it keeps resetting to 3am to 2pm.
