Same-Name Strava Segments Don’t Sync

I’m trying to sync in segments with the names exactly the same except for the last character.  These segments won’t sync to the device (edge 130) when starred in Strava.  All other segments syncing as expected.

    I think there's an on-device name limit for things like courses, segments, and workouts, which is shorter than the name limit on Garmin Connect.

    So I have a workout called "My Awesome Track Workout", when it syncs to my watch, it becomes something like "My Awesome Tra".

    Then if I'm unlucky enough to create another workout called "My Awesome Track Workout #2", the name on the watch would also be "My Awesome Tra", and the watch would only be able to sync one of them.

    Not to say that this is a great situation, but that's what I think is happening here. Something should be happening on the Garmin Connect side to make the on-device names unique, in my opinion.

    e.g. In my example, the two workouts could be mapped to:

    "My Awesome (1)"

    and

    "My Awesome (2)"

    (Of course this solution has its own problems...)
