FITcontributor - Native emulation of Power no longer being recognised by Strava

Since Garmin decided that instead of allowing NATIVE FIT file fields (like Power) to use the existing FIT standard (eg below), CIQ creators wanting to emulate/utilise Virtual Power is at a loss.

createField("power", 0, Fit.DATA_TYPE_UINT16, { :nativeNum=>7, :mesgType=>Fit.MESG_TYPE_RECORD, :units=>"watts" });

I was happily using the above and importing it into strava and it was sunshines and clear skies.. then suddenly in the last week, looks like Strava no longer is recognising it as a native field. So.. Boo to me.

yah.. i'm just ranting but doesnt' seem like anything else I can do.

Oh yea.. whenever any CIQ Fields uses FIT contributor, tapiriik.com can't sync it and I can't import the FIT file into Cyclemeter.
