P: Ability to sync Lightroom Classic keywords with the Lightroom Ecosystem

Here is a plug-in for Lightroom Classic that I find invaluable. It syncs smart collections to mirrored normal collections. Using this i make smart collections with important keywords (sometimes limiting to say 3 stars) then I sync those collections to mobile. It’s a bit of setup and of course wouldn’t be feasible for too many keywords but works well for me. For example I made a folder called “3 star vacation”. This is one way to benefit from your LR Classic’s keywords in mobile.

Rikk Thank you for replying.
I voted a while ago....
Actually I just don't understand how you can say the 2 products are for different audiences.
If so, why do you propose and put forward a subscription with both ?
The only reason why your cloud subsciption with mobile and desktop lightrooms is interesting (to me?) is exactly because we have a workflow, starting mobile (on the IPAD Pro for me) while on the move for long periods (weeks) downloading images, starting to edit, keywords, ... and continuing back home on the desktop (and the CC desktop version doesn't have what is needed such as print...)...
And later going back and forth between mobile and desktop is a huge productivity gain (keywords, color tags, editing on the ipad or iphone while commuting for instance...)... otherwise what's the point os syncing...
I can't understand how this is not obvious to your Lightroom product management team...
Not being able to fully use my expensive subsciption (missing keyword, persons....) is making me doubt I will continue it and look forward for your competition to propose it.

All threads are read. 

Please see the official response at the top of the thread. If anything were to change that is where any update would appear. That official response also contains the link to the feature request (Add Keyword Hierarchy to Lightroom Ecosystem). This would be an antecedent to this feature request. 

Please continue to vote using the [Vote] button at the top of this (and the other ) page so that relative customer feedback continues to feed to our internal systems informing product management.

Thank you. The quote is from one of two answers to this thread, marked as official answers. The numbering is mine, though.

Thanks for making a compelling argument. It’s difficult to come up with another way to ask for these features without coming across as just complaining. You articulated this great. Hopefully someone is listening!. Where did you see Adobe reply that you quoted?

Very disappointing. Adobe please - Official reply states:
(1) A hierarchical schema is not compatible for various workflow reasons with a flat schema - ergo there is no syncing of keywords between the two.  
(2) The two products are designed for different audiences and workflows.

I know that it is tiresome to get the "I'm a software engineer myself, how hard can it be" over and over again, but maybe it would make you think twice? So, flattening the hierarchy when syncing, or only syncing a specific level, would be a somewhat acceptable limitation, near or long term. Not wanting to do it is just a decision. Then say it like it is.

Worst problem is the second part of the answer, about the product being for different audiences and workflows. Wake up and listen to your users - Lightroom CC/Mobile has been adopted as a long awaited valuable addition to the professional workflow of your LIghtroom Classic users, making it possible to work when not on the main system, and to delegate tasks like rating and adjustments. For many, what you have already now solves year-long problems of not being able to share catalogues or use network drives. Now it even works when syncing only the previews rather than the full images! It is genious - Adobe, you struck gold here for the workflow of professionals, and CaptureOne or anything else does not have anything like this yet. This is your value-prop, and you are alone on the market. Unless your only plan with Lightroom is to be freeware for instagram posting, please stop claiming that one Lightroom has nothing to do with the other Lightroom, and make your program managers understand that your users do not share the view of them being different workflows. You are throwing away your advantage.

I wonder if this will be read.

  

Would be great to have this feature in the near future. It cannot be a solution to do the sync of the keywords manually. 

I agree with all the above comments. I purchased Lightroom many years ago and kept upgrading until the subscription version came out. Then I sat for many years. Then maps stopped working. Then I started getting odd artifacts on my screen, so I updated to the subscription model. I was shocked to see that I could not syn key words. Missing this feature is huge. Like others I would like to organization on my mobile and do more detailed edit on the PC. If I can't I don't need the mobile version, so I may as well just move away from Lightroom to another organizer. Adobe please fix before I decided to move. As you know moving will be hard so once I do it I will not be coming back.

It is such a pity not to be able to edit, tag keywords, identify faces.... on mobile while traveling for a long period and have these synced on the computer while coming back at home. It seems so obvious. Some features are not accessible on the mobile version (starting with print) and you cannot do them based on the info you / faces tagged! And adobe has intention of implementing this ? It means adobe has no intention to allow a proper mobile + desktop workflow! This questions why I should get the expensive cloud (mobile + classic) package... I’m a customer for lightroom from the beginning and was excited to implement a mobile workflow. What a disappointment!
Is thee any turn around? Any process to get into classic the info I took hours tu plug in the mobile version? Export and re import....
