Refresh workouts in training plan

Feature Requests
1

I as a training-plan editor usually build a training plan by drag-and-drop from my workout library. It seems such a drag-and-drop creates a copy of the workout inside the training plan and there is no “back-link” to the original workout in the workout library.

I wish that

  • …when I change (“fix”) a particular workout in my workout library
  • …then I would like to be able to “update” (“redeploy”, “refresh”) the workout in all training plans where that workout has been dragged-and-dropped to
  • …and optionally do a similar “redeploy” to my training calendar, too (if the workout has been just “dropped into the calendar” without using a training-plan)

This last one is already available if you click APPLY CHANGES in the Training Plan view:

However, I believe it only works if you have the athlete linked to the plan which is not the same as “dropping the plan into the calendar”.

No, it is not.

If I change the training plan, then I can “apply changes”, true.

My request, however, is not about applying changes of a training plan to athletes. It is about changing the training plan’s content itself automatically by editing the workout library the training plan was built from. When and if that will work, then I will be able to “apply” those changes to the athletes, indeed.

and my second bullet (third, actually) in my OP was about dropping a workout from the workout library folder directly (and not via a training plan) into the calendar.

You’re right. I must have skipped the workout part of the sentence since the previous point was relevant to training plans.

My point was that if the first one was implemented, you’d get the second one as well since that Training Plan functionality already exists. But I missed that your point is a different one. My bad!

An example of the usefulness of the feature:
Today I found that I forgot to set a “power=3s” attribute to several workout types that appear quite late in more than one training plans. Now I have to

  1. fix the affected workout types in the workout library,
  2. then fix again all instances of all affected workout types in all affected training plans manually one-by-one
  3. then redeploy the corrected training plan(s)

@david: I wish if step 2. above could be a single-click operation: refresh training plans with the new workout contents…
