P: Problem when using copy and paste or sync in develop module with WB changed

My operating system is MacOS Catalina 10.15.7. With the new LRClassic update 10.0. When I change the WB from As Shot to Daylight in the Develop module with the Profile at Camera Standard (Nikon D500 and D850 user) whether I have made other changes to other sections of the basic panel or not and then copy and past to another photo or sync to other photos (same sequence and same camera WB settings) the WB label changes to Daylight in the photos copied to or synched but the sliders (and the setting) do not change. I then have to go to each individual photo copied to or synched to and change wb back to as shot and then to Daylight and then it works although then the preveviews in the thumbnails in the film strip below are erractically slow to resolve. This does not happen if I have just changed the Temp or Tint slider or both but only if I have clicked on the Daylight option. I have tried disabling all plug ins and no change, I have turned of the computer completely and turned it back on etc.. .

It's a known bug and fixed for next release.

"Photo > Develop Settings > Copy settings" seems to copy only settings that have been adjusted. It doesn't copy white balance settings if it is wasn't changed in Lightroom. It means that if I later paste settings to a photo with different default white balance values, it doesn't change white balance of that photo.

I retested all five methods, and the two right-click/copy-paste methods didn't work this time; I must have botched the initial testing. I've updated my reply above.

However, the Develop Auto Sync and Quick Develop methods continue to work, repeatedly, changing both the WB name and the sliders.  If they're not working for you, let us know the precise steps you're following, the camera model, and the file type (raw, JPEG, etc.)

Which of the five methods did you try?

Sorry John.  I have no luck with your method of copy and paste with WB.  The name changes but the values do not.  Maybe I've missed something with your workaround..??

While waiting for the bug to be fixed, see the first reply at the top of this thread for alternative methods for copying settings (including white balance) that don't involve more clicks.

Not allowed to say. In the meantime can you try Sync Settings.

Any idea when that is? I'm losing hours over here with the backlog of edits I need to get done this week.
