Evening,

So I have a Strava running profile which has worked for years without issue (I'm using the wonderful Tasker Android automation app), until recently when Strava updated their app to include a new required question before you can upload an activity.

In the app it's called "Perceived Exertion: How did that activity feel?" you select an answer and you're then allowed to post the activity to your account.

However, if you try to continue to sync the activity using the intent, you'll get a sync upload failure because the question (required field I assume) hasn't been completed.

My action in Tasker looks like this:

Strava Run Complete (28)Abort Existing TaskA1: Send Intent [ Action:android.intent.action.RUN Cat:None Mime Type: Data:http://strava.com/nfc/record/stop Extra: Extra: Extra: Package: Class: Target:Activity ]

The profile (the Strava application intent) stops the run and posts the run to my Strava account, in the app it's the same as pressing, stop and then save.

So my question is how to do I send the answer within the intent? I couldn't not see any kind of update to the documentation which explains the functionality being called via the intent/api.  

Any pointers appreciated. 

Mike.

Hi,

Just wanted to add that I have also recently experienced this issue, is it possible to default the answer to that question or make it optional?

Many thanks
