Interval.icu changes activity type to Strava

1

I have been observing a strange affliction on “Strava” for some time.
Well, spontaneously, without my participation (so I thought) changed the type of activity from virtual-ride to walk. Then the map, the elevation disappeared from the activity.
I corrected this manually by editing and changing it to “ride” after which virtual-ride was restored.

But yesterday I found the cause of this phenomenon :wink:

Well, it is … “interval.icu” :smiley:

This happens when “interval.icu” consolidates two records of the same activity (Zwift records and syncs with Strava, but my E1040 also records activity due to DFA/RRa1, ride dynamics with all the surroundings, etc. and syncs GarminConnect).
Both Strava and GarminConnect sync with “interval.icu”.
The light mechanism implemented by @david prevents duplication of the same activities and therefore GarminConnect “covers” Strava.
And here is the clue of the matter :slight_smile:
When I correct such a consolidated activity in any way (name, comment) then on “Strava” there is the problem described in the introduction.

Huhhh, to make things more interesting, for several days Strava does not allow … change the type of activity from the level of editing the activity (the fields are grayed out, blocked for selection!).
For now, I get around it by going to the “My activities” page and from the list of activities, I select “Edit” on the right side without going into the activity itself and change the activity type there. So far it still works :wink:

I wonder what “interval.icu” sends to Strava that it changes the activity type to … WALK :smiley:

I wrongly modified a bike run in a run by foot and now on Strava it has changed and I cannot adjust it there, neither of I fix it on intervals.icu!

Please message me a link to that activity on Intervals.icu. Tx.

Hello David!
I got that it’s Strava issue, when you set a virtual run (or virtual bike run) then on Strava it becomes unchangeable…

I opened a ticket to Strava to modify it manually by them, it seems the only way… :slight_smile:

So if I change things so a Strava Ride/Run is not changed into a Virtual Ride/Run when a non-Strava activity linked to Strava activity is edited on Intervals.icu it might sort this out?

Not so sure.
I mean, if I really want to change a Strava activity in a virtual run/ride I would use this opportunity from intervals.

I don’t know if there’s any other way to create a virtual ride/run on Strava; if this is automatically done from Zwift/Rouvy (for example, but I don’t have it, I am sorry), then your change would be a solution.

If someone confirm this I would agree 100%!

I can’t be sure because I use a translator to translate from English to my language :frowning:
The translation is quite unclear to me.

In order not to complicate things, we can run tests - I’d be happy to check on “my own skin” whether the change you proposed will have a positive result.
