Edge SW 9.29 Workout screen modification, 2 empty fields cannot be modified. In previous versions it was possible to add for example HR or cadence. Now the workout screen shows only the step and Watts.

Garmin-Blake you referenced the workout screen layout not being editable, but in its current form there are just two blank fields at the bottom that cannot be edited at all. Is this expected as well?

There was a problem where they could only be changed via using the the phone. This is fixed in the beta 18.17 build

I'm talking about the two data fields at the bottom of the workout page. 

I'm on the 18.17 beta and the behavior is the same. If I create a new profile then that profile's workout screen is editable, but not my default "Road" profile. Unfortunately I cannot duplicate my profile to create one that is editable, I have to start from scratch which would require a lot of rebuilding.

I imagine it might be imported from my previous device but I can't remember as it was a while ago. I'd be happy to share the profile - how would I do that?

The profile is in the Garmin\Sports folder. You can either attach it to a post here using the insert option at the bottom of the post while authoring the post or you can private message me.

First time trying the workout screen on the 840 today.  Totally N.G.  Only three fields and can't change any of them.  WTF?

Only the 2 data fields at the bottom of the page are configurable. The rest of the data is driven off of what is in the workout.

Would you be willing to share the activity profile you were using? I would be interested in looking at to see why you could not change either of the 2 configurable data fields. 

I've tried a number of things and have gotten the two data fields to work.  It may have been something weird with the original workout synced from TrainingPeaks.  Having since used the workout screen successfully, I def have some suggestions. 

The workout screen needs more data or more than two user data fields.

Main uneditable data field:

The font size for the interval time and target are small.  I can see them fine but I’m sure others would have problems.

Up/down arrows to the right of 3 sec power seem backward to me.  My intuition is the arrows should indicate what I  need to do.  e.g If power is low, arrow points up indicating a need to increase power, and vice versa.

The Slider pointer on the left of Target lags and jumps too much to be of value.  Have the arrow respond quicker and more smoothly, or use the real estate for something of value.

The Workout graph is too short, or needs to be user settable. 

Power shown is 3sec average.  I'd prefer 10 sec, or user settable. 

IDK where "Step distance" comes from. It's of no value to me during a workout.  I'd rather see actual step Step number (not 1/3, 2/3, ...) or secondary target or something.  Or, replace it with two user data fields.

Data fields:

With repeats, the "Workout step" shows 1/2 , 2/2, 2/3... This is NG as there is no way of knowing what step I'm on.  I can put together a workout consisting of various repeats and all it will never show is 1/2, 2/3,2/2... 

“Duration” and “Time to go” show the same thing, the interval time.  There should data field for the time to go for the entire workout.
