Apple Watch "other" workout name workout missing

The Apple watch Series 4 no longer allows you to name your workout after you select "other" workout. It used to give an option immediately after you ended a workout. It also can not be changed via the activity app or health app on the iPhone. Is there anyway to choose a specific workout from the "other" list?

Start a workout with the type Other. When you’re done, swipe right, then tap End. Scroll to the bottom of your workout summary, tap Name Workout, tap the type of workout from the list, then tap Save.Next time you do the workout you saved it will be displayed on the watch as an option so you dont have to go through saving it again.

yes in the new update what you do now is open the workout app and scroll all the way down and at the bottom is an entry to "add workout",tap on this and an enormous list of workout types appear and you can choose one,there is also an "other" in the list in case you can't find a suitable one,which ever one you choose also gets added to your default list of workouts so you can just pick that one from your usual workout list.
