Can't set the race date for the training plan

Hi.

I have a training plan for 5K active. I had last three activities scheduled:

- pre-race workout on Monday (27th Sep),

- pre-race workout on Wednesday (29th Sep),

- 5K run on Saturday (3rd Oct).

I wanted to reschedule the last workout from Saturday to Sunday. After doing that I noticed that although this 5K run is present in the workout schedule (available from the training plan screen) it disappeared from the calendar. I noticed that when I re-set the race date for the training plan this 5K race reappear in the calendar. The problem here is that I when I played with the training plan setting I've set the race date to 4th of October, then to 10th and then I realized that I cannot go back to earlier dates. Also when I set the race date to the 10th of October additional workouts appeared.

In general it seems that updating training plans settings (days you run and the race date) can break synchronization with the calendar. And it seems that you cannot go back with the race date, at least in my case. Any help with that?

    I had some conversation with a support person and it seems that you cannot set back the end race date to the earlier date. It is not flexible and rather annoying when you would like to correct the end race date for whatever reason (an initial mistake, some between-friends race in need of being rescheduled etc.). I passed this suggestion, I'm not sure if anything will happen...

    If anyone is in the same situation I think the only solution for now is creating a manual workout that represents the final race and ignoring any extra workouts created in Garmin Connect (or cancelling the plan which is suboptimal as well). I'm pretty sure that I lost the end race workout in my previous plan due to changing workout days so this area from my perspective is in a need of serious improvements.
