I have linked my XERT and Zwift and I have turned off the option to Sync Activities as I do not like the way that XERT syncs the rides back in from Zwift as they do not use the name of the ride you saved in Zwift and it uses its own name. Normally you save your ride within Zwift so you know what it is but XERT seems to override that and uses things like Easy Polar Endurance Ride.
So I turned the option off but the rides still automatically sync back into XERT. The only way to stop this is disconnecting the connection between XERT and Zwift which doesnt seem right.
Assume this is a bug?

Yeah, it’d be nice to have the title pushed to Xert automatically but Zwift doesn’t allow us to access the activity title via their training API at this time. It very well could be something they add at a later date. We’re the first company to work with the API, so there’s bound to be improvements along the way.
If you really want the name of the ride in Xert, the workaround for now is to let Zwift push to Strava & sync from Strava to Xert. Alternatively (what I do myself) is to copy/paste the activity title from Zwift feed into Xert (and Xert pushed the name change to Strava).
