P: Ability to copy/sync settings/adjustments across a group of photos

It seems that I am unable to copy or sync adjustments to multiple images in the new LRCC? I just imported/uploaded my first job with over 1200 RAW files, and need to set my base contrast/saturation/sharpening to all the RAW files before I begin my select edits. For some reason my "paste edit settings" is greyed out when I have multiple images selected. I'm assuming this may be some sort of user error on my part, there is no way a professional photo editing tool would not allow the use of base settings applied to a group of photos. However even when I go back to "add photos", there is no option to apply a preset on import like in the old Lightroom? Adobe please help! LRCC is obviously useless to me if I have to Ctrl/Copy Ctrl/Paste 1200 times a day... Thank you,

    Adding my voice here, fwiw, to beg Adobe to support batch edits (via pasting settings) and batch keywording / ratings in the iPad app. Such basic functionality for both editing and catalog maintenance, the lack of which prevents me from using my iPad as my primary driver.

    Yes, please Adobe.  Make it so.

      You can switch to Classic instead Donna. That might be a better bet, if there's more than 1 or 2 features you miss. Each app has pros and cons.

      I hope they get the features like sync added soon.  This is a chore. I have a new computer, PC, and chose to add the app thinking it would be the same or similar as Classic. It is not.

      One of the few remaining gaps between Lightroom on Desktop and iOS is the inability to batch process settings or ratings. Please prioritize to add this capability. The simplest solution would seem to be the ability to selectively paste settings and meta-data across a range of images.

        Yes! I use my iPad (and iPhone) for culling, cropping and even editing, and LOVE IT, but you can't do HDR or Focus Stacking on it, which I do a LOT of! Thanks for the ideas Victoria, I've been thinking of using my laptop more, and CC seems to be fine for that (if not for HDR/Focus stacks).

        Mr. Rick Spaulding, if it's not the same product, it should have been re-branded. Or given a more honest name. Lightroom Limited. Or Lightroom Mobile (because mobile apps are known to be limited versions. Changing Classic to CC has been causing a lot of strife, branding a new inferior product with the same name as an older product, with just Classic and CC to differentiate. It feels like a con, and is wasting everyone's time who trusted it to be true, and found it a fraud.
