FR 55 not remembering IQ Datafield

I have written a simple DataField App. It’s been published.

The issue I am seeing is the watch is not remembering that the field has been set when the activity has finished and the user returns to the Watchface. The next time the activity is selected the Datafield has returned to a standard Datafield. 

Have I missed some code or is this a bug with the 55? 

I am also seeing an “Edit Datafield Settings” message. But have no settings to adjust. Selecting Yes or No has no effect. Could this be part of the issue. 

  • Any update on this? I see a ticket has been created. Does this mean you’ve reproduced it at Garmin Towers? Have I got a bad unit or should I try a factory reset? 
    I see there was a 3.2 Beta released a couple of days ago. 

  • The watch is exhibiting the same behaviour with other IQ Datafields with my Datafield uninstalled so don’t think this is my App. 

  • What is the firmware version of the FR55 that's having this issue?

  • No. It’s still doing it. 

    If I select HITT and add my Datafield. Then return to the Watchface, it loses the Datafield when I return to HITT. 
    If I select Run and add my Datafield. Run Remembers it every time. And while it’s selected in Run, HITT will remember it all the time. 

    I’m also get the message “Edit DataField settings.” when I select the DataField. I don’t know where that option is set. There’s no mention in the API under SimpleDataField. 

  • Looks like I misunderstood the hidden var type. Have set it to public var and seems to have fixed the issue.

    Strange that it worked fine otherwise, I would have expected nothing to work at all.
