Copying existing records

Ok so this is really annoying: When I export an activity to tcx for the purpose of reimporting and editing as a new record, I just get an empty "other" record with no data. When will I be able to copy a manual activity rather than enter a new one from scratch? I have some workouts, like pyramiding calisthenics, that my watch can't track so I need to enter the activity manually, but it takes ridiculously long to manually enter 40+ sets....

I tried exporting a running activity recording as my watch and a basic manual running activity, both as TCX, and when I imported them, I didn't see any problems. But maybe it has something to do with the type and content of the activities that I'm exporting.

You could try this:

- In Garmin Connect, export the original FIT file (open the activity and select gear icon > Export File)

- Use the timestamp adjuster at https://www.fitfiletools.com/ to change the date/time on the FIT file (so that you can reimport it without triggering the duplicate activity check)

- import the adjusted file

Thanks FlowState! I gave a go as you suggested, and this time I got an import with actual data in it, however it seems it didn't carry along any of my set data on the export. All I got was the basic activity information on the import
