Data should be saved locally and synced with the servers at the earliest opportunity. Typical Garmin. They let you record voice memos on the Fenix 8, but don’t sync them to the app… BTW, I wonder if I’ll ever see third-party complications from you, or if I’ll switch from Garmin to Pebble first.

Any attempt to change any item (data, colours, whatever), the IQ app shows me the same message: "the configuration cannot be updated, try it later".[/quote] Not being able to save settings is a Garmin Connect IQ issue, most likely caused by the workload on their servers (Garmin uses Internet to save app settings for some reason). Garmin says the fix is in the works (look at the post by Garmin developer Richard.ConnectIQ): forums.garmin.com/.../unable-to-save-settings---garmin-server I encourage you to leave a comment in that thread, to show Garmin the urgency of this issue. The issue seems to be random and can affect any app (it might work for some apps, but not for others, work for most users, but not for some others). Unfortunately the apps have absolutely no way to fix it - it is 100% Garmin functionality. Until Garmin fixes it, you can try the following workarounds: - Use Garmin Express to save settings. - Try to save settings at another time (when Garmin servers are hopefully less busy). - In some countries you need to use VPN to save settings (users from Russia, for example, reported that VPN is often required to save settings). - Contact Garmin support, though it is the last resort and rarely helps - support people are notoriously poorly trained and blame everything on 3rd apps without trying to speak to their own developers first (most likely they can't even do that).

As API 5.1.1+ devices are happy with data field acccess to Persisted content it’s probably a mashup of documentation conflicts against different versions.https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/showcase/272487/datenfeld-sphgrawh-deutsch/2026570Sun, 19 Apr 2026 18:00:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:78c3ea0f-a9f3-4f64-8447-e905391cd336MUELLERDOUSSIERHallo Werner, ich nutze den Garmin Edge 1050. In Garmin Express kann ich die Konfiguration der Datenfelder verändern. Aber das Datenfeld 2.3 zeigt IMMER die Temperatur an, egal, was ich dort in Express auswähle (z.Zt. Neigung %, vorher Ges.Anstieg). Woran kann das liegen? Gibt es evtl. eine bestimmte Stelle im Zahlencode von "Anzeigeeinstellungen", das hier meine Auswahl für Datenfeld 2.3 überschreibt oder blockiert?https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/434900/backporting-and-getting-permission-required/2026563Sun, 19 Apr 2026 17:25:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:d76c1c01-8e3d-45b6-ac26-2864484d2900flowstateHonestly I don't see how data fields could use persisted content in principle, since my understanding is that the main point of persisted content is to launch the appropriate native app for the content, which wouldn't be possible with a data field. As per the API docs: developer.garmin.com/.../PersistedContent.html Each of these objects can utilize System.Intents to to launch the appropriate application type for the content type (e.g. The workout might launch the workout player). This is typically used in conjunction with the Communications module to retrieve content of type .FIT and .GPX and later access it using the get methods provided within this module.https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/connect-iq-web-store/419009/no-improvements-no-responses/2026564Sun, 19 Apr 2026 17:25:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:fffb9b74-ee37-41d2-a4ff-95e1d0b8051b8206990Garmin doesn't seem interested in improving their Connect IQ.https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/434900/backporting-and-getting-permission-required/2026559Sun, 19 Apr 2026 17:10:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:eb0be2eb-4e5c-4b58-b967-232b63ca70ceflowstateNot sure if it's a documentation issue.

Just because I brought up this 2+ year old thread as evidence in a contemporary thread, doesn't mean it makes sense to continue the discussion here. If this thread were 10 years old, would you do the same? If I linked a 20-year old blog post as evidence for some tech discussion, would you run and make a comment on that post? So yeah, this thread is evidence for the other discussion. Still makes zero sense to continue the discussion from the other thread here, without any context or clarification for people other than you and me who might read the thread. I still stand by my point that nobody who only reads THIS thread will know what you are talking about. This is especially clear now that 3 months have passed, and the other thread has already lost its initial "connection" with this thread (by virtue of appearing on the topic list together, for a short time). "But when you have those intentional crashes, like ArrayOutOfBounds or DivisionByZero, etc, then you do get a stack trace in the crash log, and I think that you see it in ERA (I think I had there ArrayOutOfBounds once)" I'm pretty sure this reply only makes sense in the context of the other thread, which is not linked here (even now, as you have only screenshotted my one comment on that thread). So your response in this thread looks like a complete non sequitur unless the reader was also familiar with the other thread. It seems that the point of your response was to respond to me specifically, rather than making a response that would make sense to any random person who was reading this thread. That's fine, it's up to you. Yeah, I see the irony of only responding 3 months later, but that's because this thread was recently bumped.
