Since the last update 14.0..1 my copy and paste is not working as it used to. I can now only past once and if i want to paste same settings which were copied I have to recopy the settings again to past onto another image. Saw some people have simiir issues. I tried to reset prefrences but that did not work. in the past I copy as setting of one photo and paste to other photos as long as I needed it , now that does not work for me anymore.

    I take this back - just started again even on the uncropped copy/pastes.

      I've noticed that when copying my settings, if I leave cropping unchecked then pasting works just fine, at least for the last 400 images for me anyways.

      I was finally able to replicate on a similarly spec'ed 2017 MBPr and have written a bug. 

      It appears the Copy function is fine but the Paste operation is failing intermittently. 

      Thanks for the report and additional information.

        same problem with the 14.0.1 update. 

        related post last month, i was consistently getting that error message in LRC 13, : "some masking models failed to download. please try again later", when using presets, gave up trying to fix it with the suggested solutions (none of which worked for me) and hoped it would be addressed in an update. well, i updated to LRC 14.0.1 yestereday and now not only do the presets still not work and give the same error message but i now get that error message when i simply try to copy and paste edit settings from one picture to another, even when there are no masks in the copied settings.  as you noted it is extremely frustrating as copy/paste picture settings are used all the time. have reset preferences and doesn't fix either of the problems. on a mac M1 laptop, 16 gigs RAM and 14.7 sonoma OS.

        @Bernd Rac  I have been unable to reproduce your issue. To that end, I would recommend resetting your preferences. 

        This procedure works for both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Desktop.

        If you are using Lightroom Desktop, it can change your local storage location. Please review this setting after resetting preferences. 

         

        Reset Procedure:

        1. Close Lightroom.

        2. Hold down [Alt/Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.

        3. Overwrite the Preferences when prompted by the dialog.

        4. Close Lightroom.

        5. Restart Lightroom.

        that was actually the first thing i did , before even posting my issues and did not work. I think it has to do the with Graphic cards settings . As set when I turn them on to auto then the copy and paste is working , as soon i turn the setting to off the copy and paste is not working. on my machine the problem is when the setting is set to auto it works for a while but then the image you are working on is turning black . Which is a older problem and never got solved hence i had the setting on off. here is a screenshot of the setting which seems to working right now . I can copy and past and the images do not turn black, Lightroom is not as quick but better then not working

        This very same thing is happening to me and it's becoming quite the chore to try and get weddings done efficently. I've also tried manually forcing graphics acceleration. I have an M1 macbook pro.

            just another update as i am working on lightroom classic right now. it is actually worse. I have to go back and forth to copy  the settings up to  three times before the settigns are pasting and then they paste once and have to start all over again with the copy and past process . it is a nightmare right now as it takes forever to get work done.
