How to reset OPEN GOAL in workout app.

My Apple Watch insists on 4 miles for my outdoor walk. How do I change back to "open" goal? I hit the three little dots in the upper right corner, and then the "distance” option, (then I can scroll the distance up or down) but it just resets for that workout, then defaults to 4 miles for the next workout.

This is a problem mentioned many times in this support community, but none of the answers understand the problem. Very frustrating.

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6

On the workout type tap on the 3 dots top right corner and tap on Open then start a workout and when you've finished tap on end,the watch will remember your last setting and next time you do a workout it should be set to open goal.

Here is a post from another forum that fixed the problem for this lady;

What I did to fix it was start an "OPEN GOAL" outdoor walk, and walked vigorously for about 1/2 an hour and just hit end when I was done. It still had a 20 min time set in yellow when I was finished. But the next day the 20 minutes had disappeared and OPEN GOAL was back in green, so I am assuming that is how you fix it. It must reset to the last thing you did overnight.
