"End Step On Lap Button" in TP causes Garmin watch to count up for step duration
My coach prescribes workouts in TP and it imports into my Garmin Fenix 6XPRO. My workout segments time counts down from that step's duration (15 minute warmup starts at 15 and counts down). If I change the workout in TP to "end step on lap button", the step's duration counts up (15 minute warmup starts at 0 and counts up). Now I have to remember how long each segment of the workout is so that I can closely follow the intended workout duration for each step. How can I use the "end step on lap button" and maintain the count down duration for that step? The reason we have the workout in our watches is so we can be guided through the workout. Now I have to remember each duration of the workout. Please change this functionality so that it counts down.

I second this on the Garmin Edge 1030. In order for it to work as intented, an extra step with "end step on LAP button" enabled is required in TrainingPeaks (TP). The length of this step does not matter in Garmin. It will only count upwards and start the next interval when LAP is pressed.
The downside of this is that the minimum length of a TP step (=interval) is 5 seconds. Garmin does not care about the length, but other apps such as TrainerRoad doa . If you set the LAP step to the minimum of 5 seconds, it will show up as 5 seconds interval in TrainerRoad (and llikely other apps) as TrainerRoad does not support LAP.
