Datafield replaced with default field on vivoactive HR

I got feedback from vivoactive HR users for my datafield. They say that after installing the app settings can be set and it seems to work. But after starting the activity again the datafiel is replaced with a default field (timer).

I can't check this on a real device. Could someone test it on a vivoactive HR?
Is this happening also with other fields? Is this a known bug?

My datafield works fine in simulator. I uses it on a F3 without problems. Vivoactive has enough memory. The datafield only uses basic functions (current HR, current timer, app settings). I can't see a reason why the field gets deactivated and replaced by a default field. If the datafield would crash, then I would expect the IQ-logo and no replacement.

Here is the datafield:

Thanks for your help.

    Hi Ronny

    I sent you an email last night regarding the heart rate data field on my Vivoactive HR not working and it reverting to default field once leaving the activity.

    I have also worked out now that it is not just your data field that is doing this!!

    It would seem that it is a firmware problem according to others on the forum

    Here is the link to a thread I started earlier about the problem
