Fenix 8 series - display of session name does not work

using Toybox.ActivityRecording;
var session = ActivityRecording.createSession({  // set up recording session
    :name=>"Generic",                            // set session name
    :sport=>Activity.SPORT_GENERIC,              // set sport type
    :subSport=>Activity.SUB_SPORT_GENERIC        // set sub sport type
});

It's been a while since I reported this directly to the Outdoor Team and it hasn't been fixed until today. Even though I have defined a name for the session in the source code, after saving the activity from the Fenix 8 series watch, the name is not displayed and the activity is named "other".
