Step Goal of 0 in Report

If you leave it at auto, today may flip to 0 also. I don't know of a way to go back but if you do flip to 0 today, switching to manual today should get the goal into the report for today - right? Then you can wait until tomorrow and switch it to automatic to generate the auto goal and, if it flips to 0, change it to manual again.

So today, the goal was there in the report until I went in and edited an activity. When i went back, the goal was reset to 0.
So I set a manual goal just for today and the goal reappeared. I'll see what happens tomorrow.

What did you change in the activity? That could be a clue to what's happening I added gear to an activity, but the goal remained as it was.

I adjusted the time by a few seconds, distance, the type of activity from running to walking and set fitness as the category.
That's about it. It may just have been a coincidence as you can't touch steps when you edit an activity.

I just manually set the goal for today. Do you think that tomorrow, my goal for today will revert to 0 when it auto calculates the goal for tomorrow? If it doesn't, it's not a big inconvenience. If it does, then technically it's a small bug that should be corrected. I imagine it doesn't affect firmware or Mobile Connect.

I have used manual goal for the last few months, and never seen the 0 in the step report until yesterday when I switch to auto step goal. And other than changing name and/or gear for an activity, I can't think of the last time I edited an activity.

It's 100% understandable that you can't touch steps in an activity. The ONLY way to get steps is to have them reported by a garmin device. Otherwise it would be possible to present unreal numbers in step leaderboards and challenges, even if due to an editing typo.

I had a sync issue yesterday for some unknown reason. It took about 6 tries and eventually it synced ok. Yesterday was the first time in about 2 weeks but I'm back to a 0 goal in my report for yesterday. I've been set to autogoal all this time. Today is fine so far.

I was away for 2 weeks and didn't log activities even though I actually did more steps than normal. I also synced a lot less. I never encountered a 0 goal in all that time.

No sync issues today however, I edited an activity and my goal in reports is 0 again.

My step goal (only in the step report) did not go to 0 yesterday. Yesterday, I only made very minor adjustments to my activities for the day. For example, I onlu changed the activity from running to walking, etc. but very little else.

Today, however, it reverted to 0.
I did do all sorts of adjustments. I adjusted the duration of the activities. I changed the type of activities. I used a stationary bike and entered the distance. I also adjusted my stride length a bit. I did verify reports each step of the way to try to identify what I did that would cause this. However, because there is a slight lag before reports are updated, I couldn't tell.

I am convinced that editing activities causes this to happen. I suspect that there is a field in the activity database that is similar in name to a field used in the step report and the person who programmed it probably took the wrong field for when changes trigger new report parameters.

Today, I took my time and made my adjustments one-at-a-time. Everything was solid until I changed my stride length. Immediately after updating my stride length, my goal in the report for the day went to 0 again. So it's now 3 days out of 4 where my goal is 0 but at least I think I know now what not to do. The good news for me is that I think my stride length is probably as tweaked as it can be so I can avoid doing it in the future.

Can someone please provide me with the link to report the bug?
