Still ? - Cross Country Skiing FTP issue

new to Garmin watches

i know i'm not the only one dealing with the Cross Country Skiing FTP issue, without ever cross country skiing. 

has this problem ever been solved for any users?

i'm aware this post is redundant here, but after recently buying this 970 i'm looking for a little insight on if there is any way to track progress, or work being done on the bug, as the solution still seems to be "wait for a fix". 2-3 years of an issue through multiple software versions and hardware releases, feels like its being ignored by Garmin.
