P: Keywords created since upgrading to 11.2 are not coming up as auto complete suggestions

Issue: Keywords created since upgrading to 11.2 are not coming up as auto complete suggestions in the add keywords field when keywording an image.

 

Lightroom Classic Version Number: 11.2

OS Version Number: Windows 10 v21H1 & v21H2

 

Steps to reproduce:

Step 1: Create a new keyword in the catalogue.

Step 2: Select an image and start to type the keyword into the add keyword field in Keywords section.

 

Expected result:

The new keyword should automatically appear as an auto complete suggestion when adding keywords to an image.

For example, keywords ‘car’ & ‘caravan’ exist in my my catalogue prior to updating to v11.2. Now after upgrading to 11.2 I now add a new keyword ‘carousel’ I would expect all 3 of these keywords to appear after typing ‘ca’ into the add keyword field. However, only ‘car’ & ‘caravan’ show and ‘carousel’ is missing.

Keywords added prior to v11.2 are working but new ones added in 11.2 are not.

This happens on both my workstation and laptop (separate catalogues). I checked and this was working in v11.1.

    @johnrellis After an update, the version is 11.3, fortunately the bug we are talking about is eliminated 🙂

    This topic is not relevant anymore for those who update from 11.2 to 11.3.

    @NetPixel, as a first troubleshooting step, please do Help > System Info and report the exact version of LR you're running.

    There is a new bug in LR 11. Before the version 11 this was not present.

    To reproduce:

    1. Enter a name for a recognized face. A new name that isn't in the database yet.

    2. Try to specify the same name to another face, by starting to type the same name. The previously entered name isn't in the list of suggetions, so the whole name has to by typed again and again...

    In previous LR versions all newly added names were immediately present in the autocomplete list.

    Unfortunately the proroblem is worse than just naming people. In the newest version of LR, all newly entered keywords are excluded from the suggestion lists. So if I enter a new keyword, "keyword", for the nex photo if I start to type "ke", all old keywords are listed, but "keyword" is not. This is not getting repaired even if I restart LR - the newly entered keywords are never suggested. I tried to optimize the catalog, purge the unused keywords, enter the same kewyord multiple times in a row, but none of the tricks help.

    Quite annoying bug, to look up some existing keywords has became trully time consuming.

      It is a bug. I've been getting around it by going into the keyword list and creating the keyword in there before adding it to the photo's keywords. It works OK then. Until I figured that out I found a different work-around. You can exit lightroom, delete the catalog's helper file, then go back into lightroom. It would let you add the keyword to other photos then.

        Guten Tag,

        in Lightroom Classic wurden bei mir lange Zeit bei der Stichwörtvergabe, Vorschläge in einem Drop-Down Menü angezeigt. Seit kurzem werden diese Vorläge bzw. die "zuletzt eingegebenen Werte" nicht mehr angezeigt. 

        Bei der "Beschreibung" und  "Titel" werden die Vorläge weiterhin angezeigt.

        Den Haken in den Katalogeinstellungen habe ich gesetzt. 

        Hat Jemand eine Idee wie ich dies beheben kann?

        Vielen Dank

        Mark

        It's a known bug that Adobe has confirmed:

        https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-keywords-created-since-upgrading-to-11-2-are-not-coming-up-as-auto-complete-suggestions/idi-p/12742991

         

        Hopefully, it will be fixed in LR 11.3, which, if history is any guide, will come out in a week or two. Meanwhile, you could roll back to 11.1.

          Is it possible to have too many keywords in my keyword list? Keywords that have been recently added do not show up when I try to add them to an image by typing in the box that says "Click here to add keywords". These words are in my keyword list and I can find them by filtering that, but they do not auto-complete in the add keywords box.

          I am having the same issue with new keywords not showing up in the auto complete list. I noticed some people said this works for them, and it does for me too. After adding the new keyword(s) I'll close Lightroom, delete the helper file, then re-start Lightroom. The new keyword(s) are included in the auto complete list after that. It's Clunky! but it will work for me until Adobe fixes the bug.

          Example:  I created "Kim Monroe" as a new keyword. [clicked on the existing keyword "K" in the list then clicked Create keyword tag inside "K"]  I then imported several photos of Kim.  When I start to tag and type "Kim", a list of  previously created "Kim" entries auto-suggests in the Enter Keyword panel, but the list does not include "Kim Monroe".  This happens with any new keyword I create.  This only started happening today though it has been a couple of weeks since I last created a new keyword.

          I am running Build: 202201281441-a5b5f472 on Windows 10

          I am having the exact same problem as the creator of this post. As well as several others from Jan 20 to today. Since the update on feb 20th I have edited 8,338 images. This Bug is killing me for time and the use of smart galleries.. Soon my summer season begins where i'll process close to 10,000 images per week...... It's over a month now. When will this bug get fixed?
