Menu items edit/star/share/lock missing on activity imported using tcx / can not change gear

For two day now I have a problem with activities imported from a tcx file. There are two obvious problems, the first problem is that the icons

for edit/star/share/lock functions are not displayed in the chrome browser (Windows and Android) and for this reason it is impossible to edit the data in Garmin Connect Web, the data can be edited in Garmin Connect Android. The second problem is that there is no gear indication and gear can not be changed.

I just noticed that ALL historic imported activities show the same problem, even the activities I edited recently.

I found the issue. The problem is not upload files. The problem is the Creator tag in the TCX file. If it isn't Garmin device the controls will be missing. Add a creator tag and it will work.

I'm getting the same problem. I want to export tcx, but that's not possible anymore, because gear icon is not visible.

Can you please bring it back?

You can delete the activity from the activity list https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activities

You should be able to edit the activity in the app after importing it on the web.

I think that's not a bug and it's more like intended change. But still it's hard to understand, they could block import files without garmin creator tag inside. Insted, I can still import them, but not export? WTF?

I think it is a bug since you can't do anything without those controls. Not even delete the activity. If you go to the activity list you can delete the activity.

Ok, so we need to let them to answer, it seems they don't read this forum.

ErnstBk 3698983, this morning I checked this again on Garmin Connect Web. The activities that were uploaded as TCX files now have the controls to edit, share, export, etc. I did "export original" and that also worked to export the original TCX file. I also checked some of my oldest activities going back to 2004, which were recorded and uploaded as TCX files

Your morning must be later relative to my morning ;-) when this was not the case. But now I can confirm that I see the same result, the controls are available and in a few hours I will upload my next activity.

Since the OP is saying this works, I'm locking this thread. ErnstBk just private message me if you want it unlocked for further discussion on the same topic.
