Need help! Any developer interested in creating a Multisport Total Distance Data field?

I need a data field to be used during a multisport activity that would hold the total distance of all the activities. In my primary case it will hold the distance of all swim and run activities during a swimrun. In swimrun you swim-run-swim-run-swim... You get it. Today you can get a data field for Multisport Time, that holds the total time for all activities, but not for distance...

There is a fairly large community out there constantly asking for a solution for this...

johan6504 can you give this data field a go?

this tracks your time spent in HR Zones and it's CUMULATIVE across different activities across different days/months (until you reset it within the app settings).

since swim-bike-run is 3 different app and you're setting it up as chained together into 1 multipart activity, you could put the activity HR Data field into 1 CIQ slot into all 3 apps (swim-bike-run) and then it should be able to cumulative the data.

(right now, its tracking heart rate cumulative, if it works, it can be ported over to track distance as an alternative)
