P: Use caption for Facebook description

Can Lightroom please be updated to use the IPTC caption field in the Facebook uploader to caption photos (instead of the IPTC Title field)? Or at least provide the option. This would be a better mapping of the fields to use.

+100! This is so frustrating!

3 years later and it still doesn't look like it's been fixed.

I hope it can be fixed in a simple update. At least give people the option as to where the caption will come from.

For those using Lightroom 3 or 4, you can presently achieve the above (using IPTC Caption instead of IPTC Title) with a workaround as follows (*Note: this may change if Facebook/Lightroom integration changes due to updates):
- Right mouse click on the Facebook panel under Publish Services.
- Choose Edit Settings... from the pop-up menu.
- Under Facebook Title > Set Facebook Title Using and select: Leave Blank.

Now when you publish to Facebook, the process seems to automatically use the IPTC Caption. However, I found it also added the metadata value stored in Copyright to the end, which is kind of annoying if you do want use that attribute. (e.g. it would look like: "This is my house. Bob Builder").

Absolutely. Since Facebook uses the field as a "description", caption is a much better field to choose from.
