Hydration tracking during an activity

When I log water during an activity it is not included in the Nutrition and Hydration section of the activity on the connect app. Do I need to enter this information in the Connect app after completing an activity? Is there a way to have what I log on my watch during an activity Show in Nutrition and Hydration for that activity?

Hello! Does your watch still show the correct amount? Does the Garmin Connect app only show what was recorded outside of an activity? 

What I am asking about is the information circled in red on the attached image. I have to enter this by editing the activity after saving and syncing with the app. Also I then need to subtract any water I logged during the activity as the hydration widget then shows the amount I added while doing the activity as well as the edits made to the activity. I assumed that if I log water during an activity it should populate in that field without needing to edit the activity. Am I incorrect in that assumption? Is there a setting I need to change somewhere?

Thank you for the response. Is there a way I can suggest a product improvement? The current way to add fluid to an activity in the Connect app is not user friendly. It would be nice if the app let the user type the amount.

Thanks again!

Yes of course! Just to make sure I am following correctly, you would prefer not to scroll through the numbers to select but to type out how much you drank instead?

Correct, I think it would be more user friendly to type out the how much I drank. If I drink say 350ml on a run scrolling takes more time than typing in that value. Thanks!
