IQ data not totaling in laps

Question

I added a FIT Data field (steps) to laps. It is recording and displaying, however it is not totaling my data like it is totaling the other fields in laps. Any ideas how to get a total? The fitField block doesn't have any options..

You need to total the data yourself and save it in another FIT field with mesgType = FitContributor.MESG_TYPE_SESSION, which will appear in the summary. 
 Unfortunately there's no way to set a total/avg value to be displayed at the bottom of the lap list, like with native fields. Even Garmin's own Running Power CIQ data field can't do that.
