That;s a good advice. Thanks! I'll keep that in mine next time :)

Today OsmAnd has updated itself to 3.4.2 (released 2019-07-10).
I do not yet have that version, so I can't comment on what it is doing.
Unfortunately this version is worse, than its predecessor... As usual, I
set destination - Home. Then no matter what I do, it always reset its
destination from Home to my first intermediate destination as my actual
destination. :( And no matter what I do, the result is ALWAYS the same -
it changes destination... WTF???
This is the part where you are performing a very unique method of
routing.
What's unique about it?
Very few individuals would consider "home" to be a destination when
they are presently at the location of "home". A "destination" would be
a location other than the location where one is presently positioned.
I did it many times before and it always worked well. But now, when I
tap on "DIRECTIONS" button (right bottom corner) there is no any menu
asking to set is it as "first intermediate destination" or "last
intermediate destination". Now, it sets destination to that waypoint
all the time... Do you know how to get that menu back?
No, but with 3.3.8 from f-droid, I can:
1) press the "begin route" button
2) tap the "from" area (which defaults to "my position") and pick
"home"
3) tap the "to: area which defaults to "select destination"
4) pick "home" (at which point both From and To say "Home"
5) Press the "+" symbol on the right most edge of the "To" area
6) Select "Favorites" (so I can pick a known location)
7) Pick a saved "favorite"
And when I pick a saved "favorite" I am returned to the route screen
with the "From" box holding "home", the "intermediate destination (1)" box
containing the favorite I selected, and the "To" box containing "home".
So both the "From" and "To" boxes held their original contents even
after I added an intermediate destination between "home" and "home".
So for what I can tell from 3.3.8. I can recreate what I believe you
are attempting to do, and everything seems to work properly (for
myself).

And now it's even worse. I can't get to menu offering "first intermediate
destination" or "last intermediate destination".
With 3.3.8 that menu seems to be behind the small pencil icon on the
far right of the "intermediate destinations" row. When I press that
small pencil, I get a full detail list of the "From", intermediates,
and the "To" positions, along with a "+ add" button on the bottom that
I remember from earlier versions.
But, could you not have simply routed to each end point as a
"destination", then at the last end point, asked OsmAnd to route you
home from that location?
There is no way to do it. It always sets new destination to intermediate
destination...
When you tap the "To" row, the location you choose becomes an
"intermediate"? For me, with 3.3.8, if I press anywhere on the "To"
row, other than the plus on the far right, I can change the actual "To"
destination box contents. Only if I press the plus ("+") on the far
right do I add intermediate destinations (which is my expectation from
a "+" icon and the fact that the menu that appears after pressing the
plus icon says "Add intermediate". But pressing anywhere else lets me
change what is stored as the "To" destination.
