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,

    This feature seems like one that should be very simple to implement, and is sorely needed. Upvoted!

    I find it hard to believe that Adobe have missed such an important feature. Luckily, I'm still in the trial period of using Lightroom CC. Will probably opt out at the end of it if multiple edits aren't brought back.

    Yes, please, please, please, please add partial copy/paste and synchronization. Partial copy/paste of development settings exists on the mobile, so it should at least exist on the desktop. And either synchronization of "paste development settings on the entire set of selected photos" would do...

    This is crazy. I've been able to work with all the other stripped down features of LRCC so far, but this is an extreme limitation IMHO.

    This is unacceptable as a working professional to not be able to sync settings to multiple images. Please fix this in an update Adobe if you want this program to be the future over LR Classic.

    I just want to add my voice to having this feature added, I think a cloud based sync and so on is a natural progression and I really like that with the new Lightroom. But not being able to paste adjustments across multiple shots at once is ridiculous, so I can't quite use it efficiently until that feature is there. So yeah, +1 for that feature. 🙂

    I didn't mean to interrupt your post in mid conversation but merged it with others who want the same feature. It gets more attention that way. Feel free to reply here if you have any more questions.
