is it possible to record non-Second-by-Second data into fit file?

i'm writing an app where I want to prompt the user with a question and store the answer or index in the fit file.

If i wanted to create a field called "age" and store the age in the fit file without having to record it every second of the recording is this possible?

Why not just get the age from UserProfile? (well, you can get birth year)

Saving it to the fit, use MESG_TYPE_SESSION

Well age was just a simple example, I'm wanting to prompt the users with questions and then save an index in response.

MESG_TYPE_SESSION Is the route I'm trying to take..

But I'm having issue with any data associated being written to the fit file, here is the row of the fit fill for the field 'QUESTION'

I attempted to write the number 5 into the field and see nothing, although I might be looking in the incorrect place, the csv file is a tad confusing to read

Data

field_description

field_name

Question

native_mesg_num

developer_data_index

field_definition_number

fit_base_type_id

132

I'm getting this fit data from the sim, so that might be the problem.

//CREATE FIELD
		if (question == null) {
			fieldQuestion = session.createField(
				"qustion", 14, FitContributor.DATA_TYPE_UINT16,
				{
				 :mesgType => FitContributor.MESG_TYPE_SESSION
				 }
			);
		}
		
		
//SET DATA

        fieldQuestion.setData(5);

I'm not sure exactly where it is going wrong, all my other fields are writing and are visible in the FIT FILE

Are you setting a value for your field before the session ends? If I remember correctly, you should be updating the value periodically (even once a second doesn't hurt).
