Agreed. The field can't know where it is within the workout. I also have to write code to count the active steps so I can at least display which iteration I am on and this only works for simple repeats.

I think he's referring to sport_event, which is:

uncategorized, geocaching, fitness, recreation, race, etc.

In Garmin Connect, it's referred to as "Event Type". And I don't think CIQ lets you set it, at least not according to the documentation.…

see attached screenshot. i cannot write that text...

Neither GPS location nor communication (bluetooth) is available in a watch face.

I tweaked my watchface to be an app and moved the image code from the background, and it works perfectly. At least I know it wasn't a coding problem, it was a "Garmin forbids it to work" problem once again.

I've had 1 star reviews where the text was simply gibberish removed in the past.

Maybe Garmin needs to make at least some text mandatory to post a review.  I know that came up often over the last 8-9 years.

I take it this applies to the Complications API, too?  That's the one I am trying to use.  At least the other gives us some info (I can translate the 2 digit code).  I'm just trying to add a temperature option.
