Personal record for cycling 'Max Ave Power (20min)' problem

Previously Garmin Connect (web version) would automatically suggest a new PR for Max Ave Power (20min) as I upload new activities with a value better than the previous PR. Currently, it does not happen. As this doesn't seem to work anymore, I've attempted to manually set the activity as the PR by following the steps below:
1) Log into my Garmin Connect account
2) Navigate to the cycling activity I want to set as the PR
3) At the top right where the "item actions" are (pencil for edit, star for favorite, etc), click the 'gear' icon to open the 'more...' popup menu.
4) Choose 'Set as PR' from menu and a popup window opens
5) From the drop down list choose 'Max Ave Power (20min)' and click 'Assign PR' button
6) If I already had a previous PR, I'm prompted to 'keep' current or 'replace' with new, displaying some values (activity date, etc)

There are 2 problems here:
1) On the popup window above, the 'Max Power' value of the activity is displayed instead of the 'Max Ave Power (20min)'... i.e. it seems the wrong field is used for this PR type.
2) When I go to 'Trophy Case' to view my cycling PRs, again instead of displaying the value of the 'Max Ave Power (20min)' field, the 'Max Power' value is displayed.

Maybe that is the reason the PR is not automatically updated when new activities are uploaded: I have previous uploaded cycling activities with a higher 'Max Power' than any newly uploaded activities. When new activities are compared to old activities to determine a new PR, they fail because the wrong fields are compared (Max Power instead of Max Ave Power (20min)).
