Why does activityInfo has :floorsClimbed return false on a Fenix 3 Sapphire

According to the Garmin site this device supports floors climbed. Yes this returns false on it

using Toybox.ActivityMonitor as Act;
var activityInfo = Act.getInfo();
var hasfc = (activityInfo has :floorsClimbed ) ? true : false;

If you look at the API doc, floorsClimbed is only available on CIQ 2.x devices ("since 2.1.0"), and only those with a baro altimeter

To expand on the other answers here, the watch itself does support the counting of floors and is only available in the native widgets. That being said, the Connect IQ SDK only exposes that information to developers for CIQ version 2.1.X and greater (the devices listed here as mentioned above: https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/compatible-devices/). When looking at features with respect to Connect IQ always use the API guide because the watches have historically supported features that are not available to developers through the SDK.
