How to change synced activities names in MFP?

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew how to change an activity name that syncs from Garmin Connect in myfitnesspal. It just randomly chooses an exercise like walking, running, aerobics etc instead of using the custom name I put in GC.

    Two problems really.

    Currently it can't be done on the MFP end and unfortunately the link between GC and MFP sends the data before you can change the activity type in GC.

    Ideally Garmin should tweak their firmware to allow users to define the activity on the device first. It would be a simple thing to do and would solve this very annoying problem!!

    Otherwise you have to live with the wrong label or disconnect the link and enter the exercise in MFP manually. Either way not ideal.
