bug: change activity type unwanted message

Hi, in the most recent issues of GC for iOS there is now a bug when changing activity type. Even if changing within the same activity type I get the message about how changing activity type may remove some data fields.

I understand this if changing a run to a bike for example but surely changing run to 'street run' or to 'trail run' shouldn't do this?

Cheers,

Tom

    There are cases when changing between different activity types of the same main type can remove some data fields, example mountainbiking and cycling. I haven't compare the data between all activity types and I think that you need to compare the content of the FIT files to see everything that might lost when switching between activity types.

    But there’s no need for the warning changing running to street running and the web GC doesn’t have this problem. Finally this was only recently introduced so it’s a new problem

    Maybe it was added as a feature. The use of the word "may" in the message probably indicates that no check has been made. It is a message that is always displayed for that action.

    I suggest that report it to Garmin Support.

    The website now has this superfluous 'warning' message too : it does it unnecessarily on changing from eg Cycling to Road Cycling.
    Poor UI design - needs an option to turn it off in your profile
