To Garmin Connect Team, Please, Please, Please! Please! Please! Please! Please!....

Please can you make it possible to set the Activity name to the same name as the workout the activity was generated from.

Please, please, please add this functionality. It is in many other heart rate monitors and is a basic feature and will prevent wasting time naming these type of activities from Untitled, to the name of the workout I used to generate a given activity.

If anyone agrees, please use this thread to vote for this functionality and maybe they'll listen as naming activities as untitled when they're based off a workout created on Garmin Connect is INTENTIONAL!!!!

Thanks

For fit devices (Edge 200, 500, 510, 800, 810; Forerunner 10, 110, 210, 310XT, 610, 910XT; Fenix) the .fit file format specification indicates that the workout file has a {{wkt_name}} field which is the name of the workout (of course it does, this is what is displayed on your device screen so you know which workout you are going to do), but the generated activity file does not appear to have a name field. The fit file format is supposed to be flexible, but I'm not sure what it takes to add a field to the format specification.

So, if Garmin were to do this, I'm guessing that it would require changes to the fit file specification, the firmware for all Garmin devices that use the fit file format (to put the workout name into the activity file) and changes to Garmin Connect (to use the activity name from the fit/tcx/gpx file).

I'm not saying it shouldn't be done. I'm just pointing out that what seems like such a minor change is actually significant. Personally, I'd much rather see something simple be implemented and have the date/time of the activity be used as the activity name.

Absolutely agree. Everything is better than "Nameless". If a workout name is present, use this as the activity name, otherwise use "Nameless". No need to make this an option you can enable or disable. Should always be on.

Spot on!!
We don't have time to manually change this. For me, I am doing my workout (cycling to work 30k) stop my Edge1000 when I arrive that's it.
