CIQQA-3096

In activity page on Connect website, CIQ data field name and image are followed by developer UUID which looks strange and means nothing to end users (perhaps this was meant to be dev name / link to dev page in store?)

inb4 this isn't the correct forum (sorry but I don't think regular Garmin support would know or care about this kind of thing)

Recreation procedure:

- in activity, add CIQ data field which records developer FIT fields (such as stryd zones)

- record activity

- view activity in Connect website

See comment below for screenshots: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/i/bug-reports/on-connect-website-public-dev-id-is-displayed-in-plain-text-underneath-ciq-data-field-details?CommentId=9bbc86f8-bb13-4ab7-9c45-8411f7f5d47a

(btw the above url was not automatically linkified by the forum, I had to manually linkify it using ctrl-k)

Observed behaviour:

The public dev uuid will be displayed underneath the CIQ data field details (the app name and listing image, which comprise a link to the app in the store). This is not a big deal as the dev uuid is also part of the dev page [*] url in the store (meaning the dev uuid is not secret), but it looks bad.

(* Anyone can access the dev page in the store by clicking on the dev name that's displayed in the app details).

Expected behaviour:

Either:

- the dev UUID is not displayed at all

or

- instead of the dev UUID, the dev name is displayed (and perhaps it is a link to the dev page in the store). Another user has mentioned that they remember the dev name appearing under the data field details in Connect

    e.g. Consider this screenshot from an activity in the Connect website:

    To be clear as an end user or dev, if I see something like that in the activity details, it's clearly a bug regardless of:

    - whether I know that "b7fc9884-0f3e-4d29-ba67-401546c01dd8" is a developer UUID or whether I know what a UUID is in the first place

    - whether I know that the developer UUID is public or not

    - whether I remember, think, guess or know that the developer name should be displayed here

    It just looks wrong.

    A normal end user would've just reported something like "weird string of letters and numbers appears under CIQ data field in Connect" or maybe "random letters and numbers in activity!!!".
