Alerts don't work on Scheduled Workouts

I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

When I perform a scheduled workout (a simple run that is on my Garmin Calendar), none of the alerts work until that particular workout ends.

For example, I had a 5m run scheduled yesterday, the only parameter in the workout was the duration of 45 minutes, so no pace or HR targets.

When I turned on Time alerts set for 30 seconds (in order to do some 30 sec "on" and 30 sec "off" intervals), the alerts did not signal. It was only after I passed the 45min mark that the alerts started signaling.

If this is a feature, I'm not sure what benefit is being served?

I have sent an e-mail about the problem to the beta developer team. Perhaps, they can help. I will let you know about their answer.

the more I think on this the more I believe this is a bug, not a feature. I can't think of a scenario where you would not want alerts to work on a scheduled workout

another thread here indicates this isn't just an issue with the 945:

Is it possible, that this bug still has not been addressed by Garmin?!

I started a running plan in Training Peaks. I follow the workouts on my Garmin 945. For longer runs I wanted to set up a drinking alert for every 15 minutes, however, it never fired. I tried other kind of alerts, and none of them are working! It is nonsense!

Please Garmin do something with this fundamental feature!

It seems that Garmin ignores reports about problems with Customs Alerts while scheduled workouts.
I made a similar post a few days ago with no response.

It would be good at least to receive acknowledgment about the issue from Garmin or explanation why we cannot have customs alert.

Thanks for doing that. Would be nice to get this fixed. I see no reason why this could be something intentional.
