P: Changed behaviour after any location field (state, country, city) is edited from automatic value

Issue: 

  • Lightroom Classic Version Number: V15 and V14
  • OS Version Number: Windows 10


Steps to reproduce:

  1. import a Photo with GPS geo-location tags
  2. the location fields (state, country, city, details) will be set automatically and shown greyed out
  3. Edit and change e.g. the city
  4. Navigate away from photo and come back (Added by Mod)

Expected result: 

the city shows the new value (not greyed out) and all other greyed out location fields stay with their old value derived from the GPS-coordinates.
Actual result: 
the city shows the new value (not greyed out) and all other  location fields have their old values removed/cleared.

 

This is annoying if you have to adapt a lot of locations (typically CITY) where the default is not suitable. In V13 it worked as expected. I have 80,000 geo-tagged aerials where this information is crucial.

      I'm not able to reproduce this either. Try resetting LR's preferences:
      https://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/


      LR sometimes soils its preferences file, and resetting it can fix all sorts of wonky behavior. That article explains how to restore the old preferences if resetting doesn't help.

       

      If resetting preferences doesn't help, please do the menu command Help > System Info and copy/paste the first ten lines here, so we can see precisely which version you're running.  (There is no V15, V14, or V13.)

      I am not able to replicate this issue using these instructions - moving back to discussions. 

      "Actual result: 
      the city shows the new value (not greyed out) and all other  location fields have their old values removed/cleared."

      The other locations remain intact on my Win 10 system. (11.5)

      Sorry for beeing not exact a 4. step to reproduce is missing:

      4. select a different photo and select the original photo again

      Now the actual result will show, as described above.
      In general it looks as if as soon as any location field holds a manual value the GPS-location will be ignored and the other fields will not be filled.

      This may be correct behavior. I've asked the team to verify As-designed behavior.
