Group Challenges User Interface

[jplikesrunning]

Hi, in the recent past (Winter 2022) group challenges would show the individual contributions of participants working together towards a goal. That was highly encouraging to members because it showed the work they put in to the collective goal.

Now for whatever reason, that statistic is now replaced by “last qualifying activity date;” I don’t think this contributes anything to the participant themselves or to others within the group. It’s frustrating actually to not see individual contributions. The dates of activities adds no value shown as the main metric when viewing group challenges.

Having to click into the individual users to see how much they’ve contributed to the collective goal is an extra step that saps the fun of what group challenges used to be. No one wants to tap into each individual participant to see what should be the first thing shown from a UX/UI perspective.

Is this something that may be changed back to its previous UI?

Hello @jplikesrunning -- we haven't actually changed the way the "Group Goal" group challenge works. The Group Goal challenge type is intended to be a collaborative feature, meaning every participant’s efforts will contribute to the overall goal, as long as they qualify. This also means that there is no leaderboard like there is for the other competitive Group Challenge types (Most Activity, Fastest Effort, Longest Single Activity), but you can still see how your own efforts, as well as the other participants, contribute to the group effort.
