is there a way to change activity category in a large batch?

I just moved a LOT of gpx files to garmin connect (most pre-carmin connect) and the they are of course, un-uncategorized. I was wondering if there was a way to change a LOT of file categories at a time rather than one at a time?

    The script works great.  I'm trying to import information from exercise equipment into garmin, and there are fields besides activity type that I'd like to change.  I've modified the script a little, but could not figure out the correct syntax to update say the activity name field.  Can you give an example of how to update other fields?

    I don't but feel free to put it up on github. I realize that pastebin is a not a great way to distribute/maintain things like this lol, but I don't feel like connecting this account to another identity.

    This was amazing, thanks so much for your help.  Everything worked perfectly switching all my imported Runkeeper activities from "other" to "running".  The imported activities still aren't showing up in my Personal Records, but I haven't even played around with anything yet so it may be easy to get that.  Thanks again, this was incredibly helpful.

    Did you figure out how to get the imported activities to show up in personal records? This script is amazing, and I managed to import hundreds of activites from RunKeepr, but I'm having the same issue getting them to show up in personal records.

    Yep.  You have to manually sort and label them as PRs, but since there are only a handful of PRs it's really not that bad.  If you look at your activities using the web version of Garmin Connect, if you open any single activity you will see in the settings (gear icon) an option so "Set as PR". 

    So using the online version of Garmin Connect (not the mobile app).  Go to "Activities", select your activity type (ie running), then just filter and sort to find which ones are your PRs.  For example, if you want to find and label your best 5k just filter for all runs greater than 5k, or 3.1mi, then sort by fastest time (or fastest pace depending on what you consider important).  Then open the top activity, select the gear settings icon, click "Set as PR".

    Hi,

    is possible to change activity Other (I mean it has ID:4) to Strength Training (ID:13?)? With this IDs it does not work.

    Have I good IDs?

    Thanks Jiri

    thank you for putting this script out there... it's been super helpful! I'm trying to split the gear up for cycling... for example. 

    - Cycling defaults to my mountain bike --> this is setup in the GC webapp and don't need to change.

    - Cycling / Indoor Cycling - I'd like to re-assign to my Peloton.  this is the one I'm trying to parse the activities, then assign the Indoor Cycling to the Peloton.

    both pieces of gear are setup in Garmin, just trying to use this script to modify the gear assignments.

    Best Regards
