Editing activity won't save with pre-filled values

Former Member over 9 years ago

When I go to edit a swimming activity, I can't save the value. The system prefills the distance field with a comma, but then won't let me save it with one, so I have to remove it. Also, the message is not clear that the comma is the reason for failure.

Here's an example activity:

The system prefills the distance field with a comma,

I guess Garmin Connect online simply copies the formatted text string representing the numeric value (i.e. sans measuring units) for the activity's Distance, for the purpose of populating the form at the start of the editing procedure, without regard to whether the text string will pass its own data validation checks due to the presence of a thousands separator character, which was obviously not filtered out by any pre-processing.
