Garmin vivosmart help!

I just got a vivosmart to replace my old fr60. It works great as an HRM, but when I complete my workout and sync my workouts always default to "running". I change it in Garmin connect, but it never changes in mfp. Is there any way to get it to change from running to whatever I set it to in Garmin connect? I don't even know how to change the default in Garmin connect either. Anyone that can help?

    Sorry, thats one I have given up on. I think in the past I may have deleted it from MFP and resynched after I changed the name in Garmin but I cant remember if that worked. A few times I was able to change it quickly after the sync to Garmin but before the transfer to MFP. I just gave up

    Yeah. The more I research the more I see it's not something you can really change. That's seriously annoying. Even with my fr60 I didn't get the correct activity by default so I just always comment on my activity here in mfp and state what I did. Thanks for letting me know your experience!
