Please allow nativeNum FIT fields to override native fields in Garmin Connect

Currently, nativeNum fields do not override native fields in Garmin Connect, which seems to defeat the purpose. This prevents apps from overriding distance, speed or power, for example.

This feature has been requested for several years:

    Good clarification. So if you write Power data as a nativeNum from your field and I do as well, and Garmin also writes true native power, how would Garmin Connect disambiguate it? Maybe within the Garmin Connect system in general, or on an Activity basis, we could select which of the three (in this example) it should use as the "native" Power for calculation on calories, training load, etc?
