BUG - Heart Rate Zones Training Plans/Calendar, not updatin HR zone added to calender

While using Garmin Connect Calendar/Training Plan/Workout/Heart Rate Zones

I'm using a training plan that Garmin has suggested, for a triathlon. When you plug it into the calendar with a start date, it populates the entire calendar with all the workouts. Extremely useful... EXCEPT... When the individual workouts are plugged into the calendar every single workout uses the value for the baseline heart rate zone numbers. The individual workouts should update to match my personal heart rate zones.

It's definitely a bug. If the workout says to use heart rate zone 1 it will not list my personal heart rate numbers, but use the stock heart rate numbers. If I edit the workout and change the listed heart rate zone from 1 to 2 then back to 1 again and save it, it will then update to the correct values for my personal heart rate zone, but only for that specific leg/lap/zone. You don't actually have to type in the numbers. So it knows to fill in the correct value, but it doesn't do it automatically. For multiple legs in the workout, even if they are in the same heart rate zone, you still need to change the zone to another one, then back again for the correct numbers to update.

It's unfortunate, because this training plan has 19 or so workouts per month, with multiple legs per workout. That's a lot of work to change the heart rate zone of every single leg of every single workout back and forth each time.

Hopefully that's explanatory enough and not confusing.
  • Still an issue

    As far as I can tell, this is still an issue. Can anyone confirm they are also still suffering from this problem?
  • Still an issue for me, too

    I see the same issue. It`s really confusing me if the calendar is showing the wrong heart rates, cause i take a look at this in preparation of a training. But it`s only a "cosmetic" bug, while running the watch uses my personal HR zones. The "Time in Zones" Statistic is correct, too.

    Nevertheless it would be nice if this could be corrected or the shown HR should be replaced with the Zone. Better no HR than a wrong one.

  • This is an actual bug... if you go into the workout and change any workout zone (say from Z1 to Z2) and then change it back. You can then save the workout and exit and it will show the correct HR's. If I don't change the workout zones it will ignore my device zone settings and will try to use the HR zone ranges that the workout has specified. I am using a F3HR and it gets very annoying when the watch is screaming at me the whole workout because i'm in the wrong zone.
